Jenna Jameson, the world famous model and former adult movie star, has been arrested in the Balboa Peninsula neighbourhood of Newport Beach for allegedly "battering someone" while celebrating her birthday. According to TMZ.com, Jameson was cuffed on Saturday night (April 6, 2012) after being put under citizen's arrest following the attack.

Law enforcement sources say James decided to attack the unknown victim at around 8pm, though was quickly apprehended by a passer-by, who flagged down a passing police officer. The cop arrived and cited Jenna for battery though she was swiftly released from prison after questioning.

The model was supposed to be attending an early birthday party at Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim later that evening, though there's no word on whether she eventually made it or not. One thing's for sure: Jenna is no stranger to handcuffs. She was arrested for a DUI last year after crashing her car into a light pole. She pleaded guilty in August and was sentenced to three years' informal probation, which could be disastrous for her if found guilty of the latest crime.

James was among the biggest porn stars in the world when she left the industry in 2008. She is yet to formally comment on the arrest. Her last tweet came just hours BEFORE the attack, it read: "Being liar, a steroid user and a complete bullshitter, must be hard to keep the lie alive...."
