Former Zoey 101 actor Christopher Massey has been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, TMZ reports.

The 26-year-old – who used to play Michael Barret in the teen TV show – was in Las Vegas when the incident happened. The site claims that Christopher pushed his girlfriend, Cassalei Jackson, to the ground in the middle of a club after the pair fell into an argument.

The club's security then became involved and called the police who arrested him for a domestic violence misdemeanour. Mr Massey claims that his girlfriend fell over as they were leaving and the whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

Christopher has since been released on bail and it is thought that Cassalei will not press any charges against him.
