Country singer faces domestic violence charge

Monday, Dec. 22, 1997 | 2:04 a.m.

Lawrence faces a court appearance in Jean on a domestic violence charge.

Clark County authorities filed the charge in October after the singer's estranged wife, Stephenie Lawrence, told Las Vegas Metro Police that he attacked and threatened to kill her following a concert in Primm, 43 miles south of Las Vegas.

Mrs. Lawrence said that after his September 12th concert at Buffalo Bill's Desert Star Arena, the singer became enraged over an argument about his gambling.

The former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader said the singer threw her into a wall, hit her, pulled her hair and threatened to kill her.

Lawrence has denied the allegations through his Las Vegas attorney, Oscar Goodman. Lawrence filed for divorce in September.
