Ryan Jenkins' legal troubles aren't restricted to him being sought for questioning in Jasmine Fiore's slaying.
Records from Clark County, Nev., show Jenkins was charged in June with "battery constituting domestic violence" for allegedly hitting Fiore in the arm.
The 32-year-old Jenkins has a December non-jury trial in the matter.
His attorney there, Neal Tomlinson, declined to comment.
His past also includes a tumultuous year-long relationship with a Calgary woman which ended in July 2005, when he assaulted her.
Court documents show Jenkins, who was represented by high-profile criminal lawyer Alain Hepner, was handed a conditional discharge and 15 months probation on a July 5, 2005, charge of common assault on his then-girlfriend.
He was originally charged with assault causing bodily harm, but a plea bargain was arranged to the lesser charge.
Conditions of Jenkins' probation included 80 hours of community service and a recommendation for counselling for domestic violence and sex addiction.
While his criminal charge was still before the court, Jenkins sought and was granted a restraining order against the woman in August 2005.
Because he was ordered to have no contact with her, both were restrained from speaking to the other, even though they lived in adjacent residences at 1929 26A St. S.W.
Among his listed reasons for seeking the no-contact order against the woman was her "death threats and yelling over the fence."
Hepner said he has not been contacted by Jenkins since his former client was listed as a person of interest in Fiore's death.
"I hear from him from time to time when he needs advice, but I haven't heard from him in several months," Hepner said.
Other Calgary court records show Jenkins is being sued by a city couple over a failed condominium deal.
Patrick Keightley and Cheryl Dawes are seeking $57,750 plus interest from Jenkins and his Townscape Development Inc., alleging he reneged on an agreement to sell them one of six condo units he planned to build.
But in a counter claim, Jenkins says the couple breached their deal with him and aren't entitled to the deposit back.
