Mixed martial arts fighter Michael Whitehead was arrested in Las Vegas after one woman accused him of sexually assaulting her and another alleged he tried to attack her following a barbecue party at his home last weekend, police said Thursday.

Whitehead, 28, who competes as "Iron Mike," was booked at the Clark County jail after turning himself in Wednesday to detectives investigating a complaint by two adult female acquaintances, Las Vegas police said in a statement.

A four-count criminal complaint alleges Whitehead sexually assaulted a 32-year-old woman and tried to undress a 28-year-old woman while rubbing against her after inviting the two to sleep in his bedroom following the April 9 barbecue.

The 32-year-old woman filed a police complaint Saturday, and police later served a warrant at a southwest Las Vegas home to seize items from the bedroom, according to a police report filed with Las Vegas Justice Court.

Police also reported finding more than 40 marijuana plants growing in an upstairs bedroom.

Las Vegas police narcotics detectives are investigating the drug cache. No drug charges were immediately filed.

Any good phrenologist could get to the bottom of this quickly.

^ the law is ridiculous because it is impossible to enforcedoes the guy have a breathalyzer? how is he supposed to qualify if they are under the influence?#1 you get drunk#2 you sleep in a guys bed#3 your friend watches you get raped and doesn't call the cops right there and thenyeah that sounds like a reasonable thing to doWeed whores are far more rampant than crack whores today. They probably didn't get the buds they wanted and were like fuck this bitch, I'm going to say he raped me, and the other whore was like, yeah, he has to have grabbed my tits and intimidated me so I wouldn't call the cops or tell him I was calling the cops. Right.

Well that sounds horrible! Does this not give carte blanche to any drunk woman to ruin a man's life? This seems like a dangerous law.

1. That means you're taking the word of the two girls over mike's side of the story before hearing it. 2. That could mean he is sorry for what they did and is remorseful about cheating on his GF. Different perspectives could be had on what is given to us. 3. Pot plants were ignored in this situation, it is now irrelevant. These girls have a story that is filled with holes and a good attorney will rip it apart.

Nina is making a very legitimate point about the law - by law, having sex with someone "under the influence" of drugs or alcohol is rape by statute, the same as if you had sex on prom night with someone under the age of consent. Legally it's rape, because under age or under the influence people cannot give legal consent.The prosecutor doesn't even need to prove lack of consent, just that intercourse took place, and that the victim was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Not passed out, not hammered, just under the influence.
