In her new book,Now Accepting Roses, theBachelorandBachelor in Paradisealum recalled how she was in Vegas for a bachelorette party the weekend of the incident, and planned to spend time with Jacobs when it was over.
However, things did not go according to plan for the couple. That Saturday night, the pro beach volleyball player joined Stanton and her friends while partying in the hotel room, where Stanton “had a couple more drinks than usual,” she wrote, before the incident occurred.

Stanton, as she explained, “pushed” Jacobs while intoxicated to speak to security herself, and hotel security quickly called the police.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the battery domestic violence call came at approximately 3:15 a.m. Police arrived at the hotel, located on the 3100 block of S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Over the course of the investigation, it was found that there was probable cause to arrest Stanton on one count of battery domestic violence. The police report stated that Jacobs alleged “Stanton started to hit him while he was laying in bed” and he “got out of bed to stop Stanton from hitting him.”
“Stanton and Jacobs continued to argue for hours,” the report continued. “Jacobs called Stanton’s friends to come back to the room to help him. While Stanton’s friends were in the room Stanton stayed in bed and her friends believed she was [asleep] and left the room.”
According to the report, “while Jacobs was laying in bed with Stanton, she started to argue again,” and “Stanton took the room phone and swung it” at her boyfriend, “hitting him in the body.”

“Stanton continued to scratch and pinch Jacobs on his arms and body,” the report said. “Jacobs let Stanton up and called her friends to get her to leave the room. When [Stanton’s] friends arrived at the room, Stanton was upset with her friends yelling and screaming at them to stay out of her relationships and to get out of her room. Stanton’s friends noticed the marks on Jacobs and notified security of the disturbance.”
“Upon speaking with Stanton she stated she was out with friends and when she arrived at her room, her boyfriend Jacobs was upset and in an angry mood. Jacobs and Stanton got into an argument and Jacobs pinned her down on the bed. Stanton stated she was begging Jacobs to let her up when she started pinching Jacobs to get free,” the police report continued. “Once Stanton was able to get up, Jacobs pushed her on the bed, then she was able to lock herself in the bathroom.”
Once the police arrived, Stanton was transported to Clark County Detention Center, where she was booked and later released.
