Jeff Monson Arrested For Assault, Property Damage
Jeff Monson
Veteran Jeff Monson, who last week was charged with a felony for spraying graffiti on the Washington State Capitol, has been jailed in North Carolina for “assault on a female and injury to real property”.
The Olympian has the details:
Stephanie Trapani, 30, of Advance, North Carolina, said Monson is in jail for trashing her home and grabbing her after an argument Saturday. Trapani says she had a romantic relationship with Monson, but they got in an argument after she found out he had romantic relationships with other women. She said she found out information about his other girlfriends on his cell phone and she then threw the cell phone out the window of her car while she was driving to pick him up at the gym. When he found out his cell phone was gone when they returned to Trapani’s home, he got angry. “He went ballistic,” she said.
At Trapani’s home, Monson packed up his belongings, Trapani said. But when she told him she had thrown his cell phone out the window of her car, he grabbed her laptop and started “hitting the columns” of her home. She said Monson was enraged, and put a hole in the wall and flipped over a grandfather clock.
“He’s being charged with domestic violence and damage to property because he destroyed my house,” Trapani said. “He started just bashing holes in the walls and the columns.”

wat a chud this guy is. sounds like roid rage to me. either that or hes the hulk. U SMASH HULKS PHONE HULK SMASH YOUR CLOCK RAAAAARRRRR HULK SMASH LAPTOP TOO!!! haha but no seriously this guy is pretty much ending any chance of being back in the ufc
Too funny Roger!
He’s definitely done with the UFC at this point, I’d say. He’s also going to jail for a while. The state of North Carolina is very strict on domestic violence type situations. The female could be the one in the wrong, and the law will still be prejudiced to her point of view. Looks like this guy’s life is falling apart, through nobody’s fault but his own.
Last week was on his side, this week, not so much. I can understand being upset by having your girl toss your cell out the window, but you should not have been f*ckin around on her. And no man ever has the right to assault a female, ever. Not only will he be in jail for awhile, he will have community service, probation, anger management classes, domestic violence classes, etc. Just like his MMA opponents, Monson fought the law and the law won, yeah I said it.
I hate to be a nitpicker here and by no stretch of the imagination am I condoning or supporting what he did but:
Willyd: “And no man ever has the right to assault a female, ever.” Quite true. I would throw in self-defense if she’s attacking you with a weapon, but you are correct. However, nowhere in the article did it mention that he hit her. He just destroyed property. Doesn’t make it right, but makes it less wrong.
I would see him paying damage and community service for this specific offense (any help here would be appreciated Justin), but between this and the spraypainting thing, probably a couple months in the pokey will be his sentence.
He grabbed her, and in North Carolina, that’s not good, especially depending on where/how he grabbed her.
“Domestic violence charges are very serious and are getting increased legislative attention in North Carolina. Although basic assaults between family members are still considered misdemeanors, there is a new class of assault by strangulation which is a felony.”
The damage to property is most likely a level 1 misdemeanor, which would result in community service, but the two together may cause a greater sentence. As of Monday, Monson was in the county jail in Davie County.
Self defense, yes, but if anyone is coming at you with a knife, you should be running! Now-a-days, you do not have to hit someone to be assault, anything can be classified as assault. In this case with him grabbing her, assault. A lot of states are cracking down on issues that were once looked over. Domestic violence and DUI’s are two main one’s that the punishment is increasing dramatically.
I missed the part at the beginning where it said he grabbed her. Sorry. Boy is going to be wishing he was fighting in the octagon instead of jail.
This is the perfect oppurtunity to have a live, no holds bar prison fight tournament. Get all the toughest prisoners from around the country into the tournament and then who ever comes out on top has to fight Monson and if they beat Monson they have a whole day with a special lady/ or dude in a congical visit. It would be awesome, ideas anyone
My idea involves putting some serious thought before posting comments. After that, my idea involves thinking some more.
Home skillet, here, is just as much of a winner as I said on the graffiti post. Get him out of the UFC and don’t ever let him back. What a work of art…
I’m guessing you loved the movies Undisputed and Undisputed 2?
this boy dumb
I don’t agree with what he did but until details of the grabbing are clear it’s hard to totally crap on this dude. From what she said he was packing and leaving until she said she tossed his cell.. So she may have incited the grabbing but like i said it depends on the grabbing. As for the house trashing thats just pure childish…
“Incited the grabbing”? Is that like “He wouldn’t have hit her if she hadn’t done anything wrong”? Or saying that he only hits/grabs her because he cares?
No, it’s not hard to totally crap on the dude. Nothing short of her punching him repeatedly warrants him placing hands on her. Period. Monson is not a man. Men don’t act like that.
@dbiz, amen brother!
agreed.
Nicely dunn..
OK…i’ve known Jeff “Im a tool” Monson for my entire life. Even when he weighed about 115 pounds wet in high school and got his ass kicked ON A REGULAR basis. All articles, thankfully, don’t mention that my idiot friend has a WIFE and two small children who are totally humiliated by his repeated affairs, blatant white supremacy and just overall (I like what the one guy said) “HULKLIKE” brainless behavior. I hope and pray this a wake up call for him to get the mental help he needs, pay restitution to the people of WA for his continuous f’ups, and hopefully show other women out there not to get involved with him (or at least until his wife divorces him…..)
what do you tell your girlfriend with two blackeyes? nothing,monson already told her twice.
The whole story is not told. he destroyed her house bc the girl was stealing money from him. all he did was grab her thats it. the girl i know her is a gold digger and just looking for a 15 min of fame
