Musician Yanni was arrested early Friday March 3rd, 2006 at his home soon following an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend Silvia Barthes. In chain with the arrest, the man is facing a domestic battery charge.

According to police report, Yanni has on Thursday night asked Barthes to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan. But while the 33 year-old woman attempted to pack her clothing, the 51-year-old musician threw it on the ground. It was mentioned there in the report that he then grabbed her arms and shook her, throwing her on the bed, and jumped on top of her.

Further Barthes told police that he believed he injured his finger during the incident.

At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."
