"When witnesses allegedly approached the pair, Garrison ran from the building," said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.Hours before the incident, Mattingly announced on the social networking site Twitter that she had broken up with Garrison. "Sooo happy to be single again from [Lane Garrison] bye bye hahahaha," she wrote on her profile, giving no other details. "Happiest day of my life," she later added.Garrison is still on parole after an accident in December 2006 when he crashed his 2001 Land Rover into a tree, killing his 17-year-old passenger and injuring two 15-year-old girls. Garrison was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .20 percent as well as cocaine in his system, and he was later sentenced to 40 months in jail. He was released from prison in April 2009, having served less than half of his sentence.The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Garrison is due in Beverly Hills Superior Court on Friday for arraignment. He is being held without bail due to the potential parole violation and faces up to one year in county jail and a $2,000 fine if convicted of misdemeanor battery.
