An Arizona police agency has revealed documents showing Jonah Shacknai and his ex-wife, Dina Romano, have a history of domestic violence.
On Sept. 13, 2008, Jonah Shacknai reported to police that his wife had tried to choke him. During the incident, the family's German shepherd dog became excited and Dina was bitten. When police interviewed Dina, she told police there had been other similar incidents. Neither asked police to take action against the other, however.
Another Paradise Valley police report dated Jan. 4, 2009, resulted from a call to police by Dina. She reported that Jonah and she had quarreled. As Jonah began to drive away, she alleged, he elbowed her in the chest as she tried to lean in the car window. Jonah denied hurting his wife and alleged that she had attacked him physically.
"I was treated for a broken finger as a consequence of one such assault," Jonah Shacknai wrote in a letter to Paradise Valley Police Chief John Bennett.
In a report from the Paradise Valley police department in 2009, Romero claimed Shacknai elbowed her in the right breast and cursed at her as he tried to drive away from the house after a domestic violence incident. In the same report Shacknai says Romano wouldn't allow him to leave and that she jumped on the front of the car, then slapped him around the face and shoulders.
