Douglas allegedly "grabbed her by the neck" and "slammed her into the walls several times," according to the court papers. Douglas claimed the victim's injuries occurred during rough sex.
Douglas is facing charges of third-degree assault and second-degree strangulation. His next court appearance is Oct. 21.

Douglas was active on Twitter Tuesday night and didn't seem too troubled.
