According to Franklin County court records, Lee did not attend a court hearing on Monday for domestic violence and assault charges that stemmed from two separate incidents almost three months prior.

On April 3, police were notified of a possible domestic violence incident in Dublin, Ohio – a suburb located 15 minutes northwest of Ohio State's campus and downtown Columbus – after Lee reportedly struck a female relative multiple times in the head during an argument.
