Overview
- Police in Washington, D.C., arrested Fournier on May 26 and charged him with misdemeanor simple assault and attempted threats to do bodily harm after an incident at the Apartments at CityCenter.
- A police affidavit reports the unnamed victim said Fournier struck her in the face, got on top of her, had a knife at his side, and said phrases reported as “I'll kill everyone here” and “Do you want to die today?” according to witnesses.
- Metropolitan Police said independent statements from the victim and two witnesses led investigators to name Fournier the primary aggressor.
- Fournier pleaded not guilty at arraignment, the court issued a pretrial stay-away order, and an initial hearing is scheduled for July 7, 2026.
- Reporting notes this is not his first legal episode: a November 2023 domestic-arrest charge in North Carolina was later dropped, and public records show a 2024 DWI that resulted in a Feb. 5, 2026 conviction and 12 months' probation.
