Jennifer Capriati has been formally charged with battery and stalking and she faces up to one year in prison on each count if she’s convicted!
The troubled tennis star was charged with the misdemeanors in Palm Beach County, Fl. following her Valentine's Day altercation with her former boyfriend, Ivan Brannan.
According to court documents first obtained by Gossip Extra, Jennifer, 36, was charged with the first count because she “actually and intentionally touch or strike Ivan Dwight Brannan Jr. against the will of Ivan Dwight Brannan Jr. {or} did intentionally cause harm to Ivan Dwight Brannan Jr.”
The second charge against her is stated because she “did willfully, maliciously and repeatedly follow, harass or cyberstalk Ivan Dwight Brannan Jr.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Brannan claims that on February 14, Capriati attacked him at Oxygen Health & Fitness in North Palm Beach, Florida. A yoga instructor told cops that while gym staffers intervened, Brannan ran inside the men’s locker room and called 911.
