According to the criminal complaint, she asked Jensen to borrow his phone. He said no and she tried to grab it from the bed.

Jensen allegedly threw her to the ground and choked her.

The woman went to her mother’s home where she found her phone.

After she returned home, Jensen allegedly punched her in the face and choked her again.

He was released from custody on a $2,000 signature bond with the condition that he have no contact with the victim except one time to go upon the premises to retrieve his personal belongings.
