In August, 2014 former UFC fighter Josh Grispi (28) was arrested in what one police officer dubbed, “the worst case of domestic abuse I’ve ever seen.” Since then he had been held without bail; initially at Barnstable County jail in western Massachusetts. After his trial concluded this week, Grispi was handed a five and a half year prison sentence.
Police from Middleboro County were first called to Grispi’s home on August 1st, 2014 - according to a report in the Hingham Patch. The Taunton Gazette claims this was in response to Grispi’s mother-in-law visiting a police station with images of her daughter which she said showed evidence of domestic abuse.
