Carl Crawford has been arrested after he was accused of assaulting his former girlfriend during an argument over a man she had begun dating.

An arrest affidavit filed this week by Houston police states that Crawford went to the home of Gabriele Washington on May 8, produced a handgun from which he unloaded the ammunition in her presence, then demanded information on her dating relationship.

Washington told investigators Crawford pushed her to the floor, slammed her head against a wall and choked her.

The incident happened a week before a 5-year-old boy and a woman drowned in the backyard pool at Crawford's Houston home.
