Warrant Issued for Kick Boxer’s Arrest

An arrest warrant has been issued for kick-boxing actor Sasha Mitchell, who authorities say failed to keep appointments with a probation officer and a domestic violence counselor after serving jail time for assaulting his wife.

Mitchell, 28, served 45 days of a 60-day sentence for skipping court appearances after he was convicted of beating his 25-year-old pregnant wife at their Thousand Oaks home last year.

He was released early on June 17 for good behavior, with instructions to contact his probation officer and attend 52 sessions of counseling on domestic violence.

But Mitchell never showed up for any of the appointments, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Adam Perlman.

After Mitchell missed three counseling sessions and two probation meetings, Perlman said, his probation officer sent him letters requiring him to come in for a visit. When Mitchell failed to make that appointment, the officer tried to schedule a fourth visit and was again stood up by the actor, Perlman said.

“He’s a no-show,” Perlman said. “His probation officer went over to Mitchell’s house, both his houses in North Hollywood and Thousand Oaks, and hasn’t been able to find him.”

So when probation officials filed court papers claiming Mitchell had violated terms of his probation, a warrant was issued July 22 for his arrest, Perlman said.

Mitchell’s attorney, Howard Lowe, could not be reached Friday for comment. Mitchell, a professional kick boxer, starred on the ABC show “Step by Step.”
