The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, said that Ewald forced his girlfriend to leave the wedding party and dragged her to his car. His girlfriend, 33, who got to the wedding venue in Lake Worth in a limousine with the rest of the family and fiends, was grabbed by the boyfriend who said that the two had to talk. A witness told police that he grabbed her arm, but she shook him off.

Ewald faces charges of kidnapping and battery. He is being held in the Palm Beach County jail on $4,000 bail.
Ewald was charged with an additional crime of obstruction of justice after officials recorded conversations between Ewald and his girlfriend from prison.

However, Ewald’s public defender argued that he was not obstructing justice, but was simply telling his girlfriend how the first appearance works, which is not against the law.
