Donald Zieben-Hood is facing legal trouble.
The model was arraigned on charges of burglary and contempt of court on Aug. 3 after his estranged husband Jacob Zieben-Hood was found dead in a New York City apartment two days earlier, according to charging documents obtained by NBC New York.
Jacob’s body was discovered slumped over a toilet with several stab wounds on his body, including a laceration on the head as well as several gashes on the back of his leg, with one deep enough to cut through his muscle, prosecutors reported. The personal trainer—who had a protective order in place against Donald since last year—was pronounced dead at the scene.
Donald, who required stitches on his arm, told 911 that he had found Jacob dead in the bathroom, per the docs. He also admitted to the operator that he was worried about being arrested for violating the order, according to authorities, since he was directed to stay away from Jacob.
