Britney's ex charged with various acts of violence

Britney Spears' former partner Adnan Ghalib has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run after an alleged incident involving a process server.

I think I might follow Britney Spears' lead and get a restraining order against Adnan Ghalib. Except I might struggle to find anyone willing to serve him with the papers.

Britney ex Ghalib was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run on Tuesday, the LA Country District Attorney's office has confirmed. All three charges relate to an alleged incident earlier this month when, it is claimed, Ghalib ran down a man who was trying to serve him with the restraining order filed last month by Spears' father.

And just in case you're adding those charges together, the deadly weapon is his Mercedes and the battery is the act of hitting someone with his car.

The victim apparently jumped onto the car as it came towards him and hung on as Ghalib swerved to shake him off, which he did, breaking the man's wrist in the process. Ghalib then drove away without stopping (there's the hit-and-run, you see?).

Prosecutors have requested that bail be set at $110,000. If Ghalib is found guilty he faces up to seven years in prison.
