Ryan Jenkins Now a Murder Suspect
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Buena Park Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for Ryan Jenkins and they now consider him a "suspect" in his wife's murder.
We've learned the PD got a "Ramey Warrant" -- an arrest warrant that allows police to bypass the D.A. and go directly to the judge. A Ramey Warrant is often sought when a suspect is fleeing from the jurisdiction.
In order to get a Ramey Warrant, police must prove there is probable cause to believe the suspect committed a felony. In this case we're told a judge decided there was probable cause to believe Jenkins was involved in the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore.

Jenkins Allegedly Struck Wife
We've just obtained a copy of the domestic violence criminal complaint filed against Ryan Jenkins for allegedly striking Jasmine Fiore.
The complaint charges Jenkins with the crime of "battery constituting domestic violence." According to the doc, On April 22, 2009, Jenkins allegedly struck Jasmine "in the arm with his fist."
The alleged incident occurred in Las Vegas. The complaint was filed on June 12, 2009.
As we first reported, Jenkins was also convicted of assaulting another girlfriend in 2005 in Calgary Canada.

Honduras May be Jenkins' Final Destination
We've learned Ryan Jenkins -- the "potential suspect" in the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore -- has deep ties to an island off Honduras.
Jenkins' dad, Dan -- an architect -- helped develop a resort on the island of Roatan. He's credited as the "developer, president and architect" of the project. A rep from SOSA Airline in Honduras tells us Dan owns a 19-seat private jet.
Authorities believe Jenkins has fled to Canada. That country will not extradite someone charged with a death penalty offense in the United States. Of course, if Jenkins is charged with a non-capital crime, he could be extradited.
Honduras also provides for extradition, but only to the suspect's home country -- which we believe is Canada.

Reality Star Jenkins Flees to Canada
Sheriff's deputies in Washington state now tell TMZ that they believe Ryan Alexander Jenkins has escaped to Canada by foot.
Jenkins is Canadian, and cops in California wanted to talk to him about the death of his wife, model Jasmine Fiore. Her body was found in a suitcase in Orange County last weekend. Customs tells us Jenkins is now a "potential suspect" in her killing.
Here's what we know straight from the Whatcom County Sheriff's Dept. in Washington State, which is just over the border from Canada:
- Yesterday evening a witness reported seeing someone matching Jenkins' description driving a black BMW SUV (we know he owned one) with a boat in tow in a marina which is extremely close to the Canadian border.
- A short time later deputies found the boat and the SUV abandoned.
- A manhunt then began for Jenkins by land, sea, and air, conducted by federal agents, deputies, cops, and Canadian authorities.
- They were unable to find Jenkins and now think that he literally made a run for the border -- crossing over by foot.

Nude Tape Star to Vet: My Dog May Be Coke'd Up
He's only a puppy -- but Kari Ann Peniche's 18-month-old doggie may have already had a dangerous brush with cocaine.
It all went down back in July -- back before Kari Ann's naked threesome tape surfaced with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart. Peniche's house sitter noticed her Pekingese puppy "Buster" began to vomit, experience diarrhea, and twitch uncontrollably.
Kari Ann had a house sitter because she was shooting Dr. Drew's "Sober House" at the time. When she found out her pooch was in distress, she immediately left the rehab facility and rushed home to take him to the vet .
According to the veterinary report obtained by TMZ, Kari Ann told the doc Buster may have been exposed to Xanax, cocaine, methamphetamine or other unknown drugs.
So how would Kari Ann know about Buster's exposure to drugs? It's a mystery. What we do know is that Mindy McCready was living in the house at the time. Mindy told us, "I've never hurt an animal and I don't do any drugs." For the record, Mindy pled guilty in 2004 for using a fake prescription to buy OxyContin.
After the vet ran tests, it was determined Buster was suffering from "unknown toxin/drug exposure." But don't worry, Buster was treated and eventually recovered.

Pauly Shore's Ballistic On-Set Tirade Unreal!
Pauly Shore went absolutely nuclear on the set of his new movie -- unleashing a screaming, f-bomb laced, Christian Bale-esque tantrum that could only be described as ... well, totally unbelievable.
TMZ obtained footage from MovieSet.com of the recent tirade, in which Pauly freaks out on the set of "Brand Dead" when he hears producers talking to each other during a scene he was shooting.
Pauly, who was playing a gay sports commentator at the time, screamed, "Shut the f**k up while we're working ... I'm playing this gay guy all day, wearing this f**king wig on my head ... have you ever been on a set before?"
There's way more yelling, way more cussing, way more freaking out.
But it all seems suspicious -- especially since that "real" footage of Pauly getting punched in the face at a comedy club a few years ago turned out to be an elaborate hoax to publicize a movie.
So, we gotta ask...

The Prez's Vacation -- In a Category 4 of Its Own
President Barack Obama is set to take Martha's Vineyard by storm this Sunday for a little R & R-- but guess who's also gunning to stop by M.V. on the same day? Hurricane Bill.
The National Hurricane Center tells us if Bill stays on course, the tiny Massachusetts island could easily succumb to the power of Mother Nature right when the Prez is scheduled to make landfall -- but it's a freakin' hurricane, so who knows.
Ironically, The Oak Bluffs School -- the place the White House is renting out to host its press corps -- is also the town's evacuation center. The principal for the school, Laury Binney, told us if Bill rolls through town it could get pretty "interesting" having families and the media all holed up in the same shelter.
At least the press corps won't have far to go.

Text Message -- Key Clue in Model Murder
Sources tell TMZ cops have spoken with a man who was involved with the murdered model -- and a text message he received the last night of her life may be the key to unlocking this mystery.
Here's what multiple sources tell TMZ. The victim, Jasmine Fiore, and her husband, Ryan Jenkins (the "person of interest") were in San Diego for a poker tournament last Friday. At some point in the evening, Fiore texted Robert Hasman, a former boyfriend with whom she was involved before meeting Jenkins.
We're told Jenkins not only knew of Hasman, he was upset Hasman had been communicating with his wife while Jenkins was in Mexico shooting a reality show.
We're told Fiore texted Hasman on Friday night, saying she was going to travel to Las Vegas to see him.
Later that same evening, we're told Hasman received another text from Fiore's phone that just said, "suck it."
Police are exploring a theory that Jenkins may have seen the text Fiore sent to Hasman and then fired off the "suck it" message out of anger.
Fiore's body was stuffed in a suitcase and placed in a dumpster in Orange County, CA. Jenkins was the last person to see her and the one who reported her missing on Saturday night. He is now MIA. Cops say they are "suspicious" of Jenkins but he is not yet a suspect.
