Clueless star Stacey Dash has been arrested for domestic battery after she allegedly got into a fight with her husband Jeffrey Marty.

The 52-year-old was taken into custody on Sunday night at her home in Pasco County in Florida.

Body camera footage of her arrest showed Dash being handcuffed and placed in the back of a squad car wearing a long t-shirt and flip flops.

DailyMail.com had learned that it was Dash who called police to her home at about 7.45pm, claiming that her husband had placed her in a chokehold.

It was Dash however who was charged with battery, after officers returned to the property after midnight and arrested the actress.

Marty posted to social media around this time, tweeting: 'Anyone who would falsely use law enforcement to destroy another person's life deserves exactly what they get.'

Dash is accused of pushing and slapping her husband in the face, according to the arrest report.

When police arrived they reported seeing 'red scratch marks to his left upper arm'.

Dash was charged with domestic battery and is being held on a $500 bond. Her manager said on Monday that she was acting in self defense.

She claims her husband attacked her first when he tried to choke her and that he obtained the scratches when she fought back.

Dash alleges that she called 911 herself but was arrested because she didn't have any marks on her.

Police were called to her home at about 7.45pm following reports of the domestic dispute. Bodycam video showed Dash being placed in handcuffs in a hallway outside her apartment

In the body cam footage, Dash appeared confused as she was placed in handcuffs and could be heard asking if she was under arrest.

The arresting officer later asked Dash where she was born and what she did for a living.

She told him she was an actress and that she starred in the film Clueless.

Dash also mentioned working in politics and her stint as a Fox News contributor.

Dash rose to fame starring as Dionne Davenport in the 1995 film Clueless alongside Alicia Silverstone.

The actress married her lawyer husband in Florida last year.

It is her fourth marriage after previously being married to Brian Lovell, James Maby and Emmanuel Xuereb.

She has two children - a 16-year-old daughter and 27-year-old son - from previous relationships.

Her latest wedding in Spring last year came soon after she launched a failed bid to enter politics.

She had announced she was running as a Republican for California’s 44th district in February 2018 but withdrew from the congressional race just a month later.

Dash, who was an on-air contributor at Fox News until 2016, is a frequent supporter of President Donald Trump.

She supported him in the last election.

Dash voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 election but then switched her party affiliation in 2012 to Republican and endorsed Mitt Romney in the election.

She has previously caused controversy after calling for Black History Month and BET (Black Entertainment TV) to be eliminated.

Dash was born in the Bronx and is part Bajan, African American and Mexican.

She is the cousin of Roc-A-Fella Records founder and CEO Damon Dash.
