![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
He fully admitted to "backhanding" his girlfriend in a brutal Easter Sunday smackdown -- but fear not hopeless romantics, former "Sandlot" actor Marty York says he and his woman are officially "back together."
TMZ spoke with York -- who played Yeah-Yeah in the movie back in '93 -- and the former child star claims he hit his lady in self defense while trying to drive home from a nightclub.
York says, "She got violent and started attacking me in the car... it caused me to swerve all over the road... I almost crashed and got in an accident... so I backhanded her."
As TMZ first reported, York claims they were still arguing when they got to their apartment, and concerned neighbors called police. York says cops noticed that he "did have a black eye, but her injury looked worse." York was arrested, booked and released on bail.
Up to 50% of domestic violence cases in California either involve women who go back to their alleged abuser or change their story. The D.A. is used to prosecuting these cases whether the alleged victim cooperates or not.

WTF is up with his eyebrows?! He might be playing ball for the other team with a set like that!!! His brows are better trimmed then mine!! And I'm a girl!! WTF!?! That's SOOO gross!!!! Lay off the tweezers man!!!
Hardy. DAs usually won't prosecute Unless they have the victims full cooperation. And in LA, there's a problem with cops beating up their wives and girlfriends with impunity. See www.familylawcourts.com/countylosangeles.html

Misogyny is a full on participant in law enforcement.
WOW! He backhanded her. HE IS SOOOOOOO TOUGH. BEATING UP ON THAT MEAN NASTY GIRL. NEXT UP: A REAL REAL REAL MAN!!!! YEAH, RIGHT. PUNKS LIKE THIS WILL NEVER NEVER GO UP AGAINST A MAN BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT A BACKHAND ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT. HE'S GOING TO BE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CUT OFF HIS HAND.
I DONT BUY IT #11!!!
NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT REALLY IS ON HIS CHIN!!!!!
SHARPIE EYEBROWS!! lmao
So this guy was in a movie like a hundred years ago and gets a TMZ entry for popping his girlfriend? Domestic violence is nothing to joke about, but calling this guy a celebrity is an amazing stretch.
This guy is a punk, beating up a girl... he should pick on someone his own size. And whats with the gaybrows?
