Celebrity Justice
Lampley Accuser: He Was High, Drunk & Violent

Jim Lampley & Candice SandersThe woman who filed the domestic violence complaint against sportscaster Jim Lampley claims he repeatedly threw her against the wall of her apartment after drinking heavily and smoking pot.

In documents obtained by TMZ, Candice Sanders claims that on New Year's Eve, Lampley and his son Aaron joined her for dinner. Sanders says she was engaged to Lampley, who she claimed lived with her in the apartment.

Sanders alleges after dinner, at their apartment, Lampley "was drinking vodka and whiskey and became drunk." She adds in the document that "he was also high on pot."

Sanders, Miss California USA 2003, says in the complaint that the trouble began when she wanted to finish watching a movie. Lampley then "pulled me from the sofa I was on" and "began to yell at me and chased me around the apartment."

Sanders says at that point all hell broke loose. She alleges, "He grabbed me and threw me against a wall. He then threw me against another wall. He then threw me against the door and I collapsed."

Sanders goes on to say that 14-year-old Aaron saw her on the floor and she asked him to call the police. She writes in the document," Jim beat Aaron to the phone and kept Aaron from getting [to the phone]. She says Lampley then drove away with Aaron. Sanders claims she suffered head, neck and back injuries.

The 57-year-old Lampley was arrested last night on one felony count of domestic violence/corporal injury. He was also arrested for two misdemeanor counts of violating a restraining order and dissuading a witness.

Cops tell TMZ that the restraining order was issued on January 2. The next day (yesterday), Lampley showed up at Sanders' apartment as cops were investigating. That is the basis of the arrest for allegedly violating the restraining order.

61. Just remember folks their are still folks out there who think that Nicole Simpson deserved being murdered. I would listen to any woman who says she was beaten by a man. These are serious allegations, and like OJ Simpson a sterling past does not make it unbelievable. Haven't we learned at least that much by now?

64. This chick has issues, no-one ever laid a finger on her. Now at least more than one person stuck 4 fingers up her p***y all at once but that does not constitute a crime. Beating on women is not in style anymore, most of the allegations are totally false in these type situations. I bet this chick went to a phychiaret and the phycologist an the phycotherapist told her that every person banged her while she was real young. This kind of stuff just doesn't happen these days.Stay away from stargazers!

66. It could of been worse, he didn't bite her ear. Maybe the George Foreman grill might bring peace.

67. I think she's missing the 4-way of times gone past.Meaning a dick from all 4 sides. Jacking one off on her left and right,sucking one, and taking one up the ass all at the same. It's sad that women can make up these false alligations and get away with it.

68. To those who have come in Jim Lampley's defense...saying you've met him , or worked with him and can attest to the fact that he's a "great guy" Well since everyone loves to paint the woman in these abuse cases as "money hungry bimbos who fabricate lies for attention" (my theory is, people who make comments like that are actual abusers/and,or/ abusers in the making deep down inside, themselves!) I'd like you all to know that I have met and worked with Miss Sanders myself. She comes from a WONDERFUL, humble, loving family backround and is truly one of the kindest souls you could meet. Didn't come from much but through hard work was a double major (Religion being one of them) at Pepperdine University in Malibu where she was top of the class and was also a teacher at inner city schools, and taught Bible study at churches across L.A. Yes, she was also a sucecsful model (Fredricks of Hollywood model) There is not one mean, fake, nasty bone anywhere on thsi girls body..I truly hope some of you get to meet her and realize what a truly great girl she is. She wouldn't lie about a school paper, so much for something as tragic as this. I don't think even a person who has mental issues would fabricate such a story..for what purpose? Ask yourself that before you start taking sides. I wish Candice the best as she's one of the kindest girls you could meet in all of California.

70. These young girls look at men with money and don't look at their age. He's probably older than her own father. Money, fame talk to these young girls. Look at Donald Trump. His wife just see's $$$$$$.

73. i feel so sorry for ms. sanders....her hell is just beginning.....having been throught this before...i know that, in the end, he'll get off with a wrist slap...(especially if he is a celebrity!)...and she'll be left to worry about her safety every day, and everywhere....and he'll have all the rights..and, NOW, he'll be very, very angry...and she'll pretty much have to be killed before he'd be convicted of anything.....(of course, then there's denise brown!)....there should be a MUCH better way to deal with these violent a**holes..."justice" does not apply to victims of domestic violence. i wish candice well....and a safe life....away from jim lampley!
