Jameson's alleged victim put her under citizen's arrested until police arrived and arrested her on suspicion of battery, according to City News Service. It's not clear exactly what happened or what the medical condition of the victim...
  • Get out so you can try beer, see a Brazilian thriller, revert to childhood and get in a pillow fight or test your knowledge of "The Simpsons."
