The incident happened in Fernandina, Florida \u2013 which is just outside of Jacksonville (oh, this just keeps getting worse).&nbsp; Eric was at a bar with a female companion, who was asked repeatedly to leave after other patrons complained about her rude behavior.&nbsp; How rude?&nbsp; At one point, she was spitting on people.&nbsp; Ah, that Eric Mabius \u2013 he\u2019s got an eye for the classy ladies.&nbsp; When his companion spit on another woman, a tussle ensued.&nbsp; That\u2019s when Mabius sprung to action and somehow knocked both gals to the ground.&nbsp; Here\u2019s where it gets good, according to the police report of what happened to the alleged victim: \u201cEric got on top of her and was pulling her hair, ripping a handful of her hair from her scalp!\u201d&nbsp; OUCH!&nbsp; Once police arrived, Mabius \u201cbecame more belligerent\u201d and attempted to leave the scene.&nbsp; Police had him sit on a bench and arrested him for \u201cresisting without violence\u201d.&nbsp; Well, they didn\u2019t want him to pull their hair!!&nbsp; This led to a doozy of a mugshot, in which he is wearing what I hope is an ensemble provided by the penal system.&nbsp; I can just picture him explaining to his cellmates why he\u2019s in the pokey.&nbsp; \u201cI pulled a girl\u2019s hair!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And, now, a public service announcement \u2013 one I feel compelled to make before it leads to an inevitable tragedy.&nbsp;
