We're told the woman claimed Rick struck her in the chest several times, choked her to the point where she could not breathe, grabbed her by her ponytail and slammed her against a wall.

Court records show Rick has pleaded not guilty to both charges. He's still in custody, but we're told his legal team is working to get him released, and he could be out soon.
