Paris Hilton’s Former Fiancé Chris Zylka Involved in Violent Encounter with Police
Bodycam footage reveals that model Chris Zylka, ex-fiancé of Paris Hilton, was engaged in a chaotic and bloody encounter with police during his arrest last week.
Warren police identified Zylka after receiving a report of a man, wearing pajama pants and no shirt or shoes, attempting to enter a vehicle with a gun in a Cleveland suburb on Dec. 4 at 4:45 pm.
Reportedly, Zylka was found jumping around in traffic at an intersection and then tried to break into a woman’s car through a window.
Upon police arrival, Zylka was seen pointing a cell phone at officers and foaming at the mouth, suggesting he was under the influence of drugs.
Footage shows Zylka resisting and fighting officers, with one officer mistakenly tasing a detective instead of Zylka during the struggle.
Despite being tased twice in the leg, Zylka remained unfazed and was eventually subdued and arrested by a third detective.
Zylka, with a bloody nose and appearing incoherent, was then taken by paramedics in an ambulance.
Currently, Zylka is facing felony charges of assault and attempted offense, as well as misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and aggravated menacing.
According to TMZ, Zylka is no longer in police custody, and there is a warrant out for his arrest as per online court documents.
Zylka, an Ohio-raised model and actor known for his roles in various TV shows and movies, was engaged to Paris Hilton in 2018 but the relationship ended less than a year later.
