‘Shahs Of Sunset’ Mike Shouhed Cops Plea Deal In Domestic Violence Case!
Shahs Of Sunset star, Mike Shouhed, took a plea in his domestic violence case after being accused of hurting his fiancée, Paulina Ben-Cohen.
As per court documents, the charges against Mike have been dropped after he cut a deal with prosecutors in his case. In exchange for dropping the charges, Shouhed is required to take a gun safety course and perform community service. According to Radar Online, Mike is expected to attend a two-year safety gun course but he won’t be allowed to own or possess a weapon. The documents revealed that the two parties agreed to drop the charges including domestic violence, battery, and unlawfully attempting to dissuade a witness, as long as Mike completed the program. The former Shahs Of Sunset star will be required to complete the course along with community service, anger management, and parenting classes.
Mike’s attorney did say that the gun charges he was facing — criminal storage of a loaded firearm and possession of an assault weapon — were technicalities. George Mgdyesan told TMZ, “In this case, the DA didn’t bring this case because they saw the facts like I did. If this case was brought to trial, the prosecution would not be able to prove it. All my client’s guns were legal, in his bedroom that was locked with a keypad. No one was allowed in the master bedroom.”
Mike Shouhed’s lawyer continued to say, “It was unfortunate that there was one weapon registered to my client before laws changed, and it was a technical violation. However, the City Attorney’s Office charged him with gun charges. In light of the offer, he was not convicted and will earn a dismissal that’s in his best interest because the domestic violence charges were dismissed. If the domestic violence charges were not dismissed, we would proceed to trial. It was a no-brainer.”
Mike and Paulina have been engaged since 2021. According to sources in law enforcement, the police got a call at around 10 pm on March 27 about a couple fighting. When the authorities arrived, they noticed visible marks on Paulina’s body, and Mike was arrested on felony domestic violence charges. However, a few weeks after his domestic violence arrest, the couple went on a family vacation to Cavo. As per TMZ, the couple didn’t seem to talk much to each other, but Mike was showing a lot of affection to Paulina’s kids by carrying them around and kissing them.
