Rogers arrested again

Former Strikeforce fighter Brett Rogers was arrested again.  Rogers was initially arrested in June for a vicious domestic assault where he allegedly punched and choked his wife.  He pleaded guilty to charges of stemming from that assault in August.  His most recent arrest stems from violating the requirements for his pre-sentencing release of not having any contact with his wife.

It is unclear at this time if his latest arrest will have any impact on his sentencing.
