Celebrity Justice
Ex of Madonna, Naomi Busted for Assault

Chris Paciello, Madonna, Naomi CampbellA man once indicted for murder and a notorious celeb womanizer was arrested this morning on felony assault charges, along with the owner of Villa nightclub.

The ruckus started at Les Deux nightclub in West Hollywood, where Chris Paciello -- who has reportedly dated Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez and Niki Taylor -- was hanging out with Cuttino Mobley of the LA Clippers.

The victim allegedly exchanged words with Chris and Cuttino. We're told Paciello left Les Deux, went over to Villa, picked up Villa's owner Reza Roohi and, we're told, the two then went on a hunt for the alleged victim.

They found him at San Vicente and Sunset Blvd. We're told Paciello and Roohi allegedly beat up the victim, though the injuries are not life threatening.

A nearby gas station security camera apparently captured the incident and the video is in the custody of the Sheriff's Department.

Paciello and Roohi currently are being booked on felony assault charges.

Paciello, who is being booked under the name of Christian Luzwigsen, is currently on parole.

Ronald Richards, lawyer for Villa, released this statement: "Mr. Roohi had nothing to do with the dispute, he was merely there to keep the peace. The incident had nothing to do with the bar whatsoever."

UPDATE: TMZ has spoken with the alleged victim, Will Wright. He says Reza was driving and hit Will dead-on with the car. Will says his forehead hit the hood, causing a cut that needed 15 stitches. Once Will flew back and landed on the pavement, he says Paciello got out of the passenger side and gave him the beating.

20. What a nutt sack. He had to go get help after he was, as I'm sure he called it, "Disrespected." What a piece of crap. I seriously doubt this prick would go anywhere to settle a beef with someone without bringing reinforcements. King douche.

25. I am sorry but once a thug... ALWAYS a thug. He was on probation and assaulted this man? I hope he goes back to prison for a very long time... I read the book awhile back - I seem to remember that he was in witness protective custody.. Is he still under witness protection custody?? His name is changed, but it doesn't seem like the dude is hiding out - if he's hanging out in popular bars in LA...?
