WWE Diva Finalist / Playboy Playmate Of The Year Carmella DeCesare Arrested On Assault Charges Back on August 27th, we reported THIS STORY on an alleged bar fight involving a patron and Carmella DeCesare. Earlier today, news reports coming out of Cleveland OH was that charges were filed against DeCesare. Earlier today WKYC printed this article. After the article below, you will find additional information learned later this evening. Some which includes news that Carmella did turn herself into Police on these charges, posted bond and was released. First, WKYC's article: Carmella DeCesare is accused of throwing some punches and making some threats. The 22-year-old is use to getting a lot of attention; for the most part signing autographs, because as Playboy's Miss April, she was later named Playmate of the Year. But now one local woman wants her to be an inmate at the county jail. Kristin Hine accuses DeCesare of assault. In court documents released Thursday, Hine says DeCesare kicked her in the head. The incident happened at a nightclub in Warehouse District back in August. Her accuser even filed a temporary restraining order. Thursday, police want her to turn herself in. They say her misdemeanor charge isn't serious enough to track her down but if she doesn't give up, they will arrest her if they come across her on a traffic stop. DeCesare is scheduled to make a public appearance Thursday night at restaurant in Valley View. Police in Cleveland say they'll pick her up if Valley View Police make the arrest. DeCesare's mom and agent has no official comment. ORIGINAL ARTICLE After this article hit the presses, it was later learned that earlier this evening Carmella did turn herself in to Police. She posted bond and avoided having to spend the night in jail. She is scheduled to make a court appearance Friday morning to answer the charges in question, which she of course will plead not guilty to. TV stations in the Cleveland area showed video of her turning herself into Police and received a few quick comments from Carmella later in the evening. Here is one video clip, courtesy of WKYC: CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO. At a scheduled appearance she made shortly after leaving police, she made this comment: "I'm not guilty and when I'm found not guilty I will be happy to answer any questions, and then everyone can hear the second side of the story." Because she is a Playboy Playmate of the Year, I am certain her mugshot will be online within the next few days for all of you that are going to ask me for it. Just remember - innocent until proven guilty.   Also, it should be interesting how WWE handles it. We have been reporting since there were 30 Diva Finalists that Christy & Carmella would be the final 2, with Christy taking it. Therefore, even if WWE isn't happy with the news of the arrest, she will be eliminated either this Monday, or in 2 weeks. I doubt WWE would remove her because of these charges, especially since there are only 3 finalists left. Therefore, they will stay on course with their plan and just allow her to be removed pretending that the fans voted her off. More on this story when we receive it.   Thanks for reading.
