Overview
- Court documents filed January 26 in Chatham County charge Aronow with simple battery, simple assault, battery, and criminal trespass.
- The charges stem from a February 24, 2024 incident at Club Elan, where prosecutors allege she threw a tampon at bartender Haleigh Cauley, pulled hair from security guard Ian O’Neill, and struck Jacinto Hills in the genitals.
- An arraignment is scheduled for April 23, marking forward movement after more than a year with little public action and reports of possible pretrial diversion.
- Police reports and cited surveillance footage describe Aronow forcing her way into an employees-only restroom, refusing to leave, and resisting while being escorted outside.
- Aronow has claimed self-defense, and her attorneys Drew Findling and Cris Schneider say they are confident in a positive resolution; a battery conviction could carry up to one year in jail under Georgia law.
