When the argument continued back at his house, an alleged physical attack took place and police were called at 4.30am.
He was booked on a felony charge at 5.45am, and while no further details are currently being released Mariotti's own words could come back to bite him.
On February 19, just hours after the shamed golfer took the microphone to publicly confess his numerous affairs, Mariotti penned a column on 'Fanbase.com' entitled, 'Tiger Woods Bares Soul: Let's Leave Him Alone'.
