Tanya Culver, 36, was arrested late Sunday for violating the conditions of her bond in a March domestic-violence case. She is accused of firing a gun at her husband and threatened to kill herself on March 7, according to an arrest report.

Culver’s husband called police just before 11 p.m. Sunday to report that his wife, who has been ordered to stay away from him, showed up at the same bar he was at in Sanford and threatened to kill him and then herself.

Culver told her husband she “would end him, run him over and kill herself,” according to the report.

After her husband left the bar, Culver then went to their shared home and called him from a cell phone that had been left the house, the report states. During that conversation she again threatened to kill herself, the report said. Culver was also ordered to stay away from their home.  She is being held without bond at the Seminole County jail.  Culver has been on unpaid leave from the Apopka Police Department since March 7.

Sapp is also known from his appearance in the seventh season of “Dancing with the Stars” with professional dance partner Kym Johnson.  Sapp and Johnson ultimately finished second in the competition. 

The arrest occurred as a result of allegations made by his girlfriend of two years who was allegedly staying overnight with Sapp in his hotel room in Miami.  According to the alleged victim, Warren Sapp came into her room early in the morning and dragged her out of bed, starting an argument about some guys she had been hanging around earlier the previous evening. He then “grabbed her and began to choke her” and threw her out of the room, she claims.  

Sapp tells a different story. He told  Miami iBeach Police that he had originally allowed the alleged victim to stay in his room but had changed his mind. He said that he was “expecting company” and wanted her to leave. He said that he was trying to help her do just that and she fell.  Sapp was released Sunday morning (Feb. 7) on a $1500 bond.

TILDEN LAW was contacted by a client recently who was facing a charge of Felony Domestic Violence Battery by Strangulation and Witness Tampering in Seminole County, Florida.  According to the police affidavit, our client was involved in an argument with his wife relating to a variety of domestic issues.  As the argument escalated, the report indicated that our client grabbed his wife by the throat with his hands and attempted to strangle her until she almost lost consciousness.   The report further indicated that the alleged victim attempted to use her cell phone to call 911 but it was taken from her by our client in an attempt to prevent her from calling police. 

Our office became involved shortly after our client was arrested and while he was being held in jail without bond.  Attorney N. Fleetwood Tilden, immediately filed a motion for bond with the court.  During the hearing, the court granted our motion as well as our further request that our client be released without special condition of no victim contact and no return to the shared residence.  As the case progressed, Mr. Tilden was able to negotiate a resolution where the State Attorney dismissed the both Felony charges.  Our client ultimately resolved his case with a non-conviction to a misdemeanor charge.
