Cashel Barnett, a contestant from “Love Island,” faces accusations of assaulting his former partner in front of their child and was detained without bail in a Utah jail as of Monday.

Salt Lake County’s district attorney brought charges against the 34-year-old on May 12, which include felony aggravated assault, felony domestic violence in the presence of a child, along with two counts of misdemeanor assault.

A lawyer for Barnett said his client turned himself in Monday morning and is awaiting a bail hearing scheduled for Thursday.

“We are obviously in the very early stages here and won’t have any comment until after that hearing,” Andrew K. Deesing said by email.

Salt Lake City police received a report from the mother of their 1-year-old child regarding the alleged incident, which she claimed took place on April 10 and was reported on April 24.

She told police that when she attempted to calm Barnett during an argument in front of the child, he slapped her arms and picked her up by her neck using both hands before slamming her onto a bed, the police report states.

The report states that Barnett allegedly throttled the woman with “continuous pressure,” and the woman “was unable to breathe and her vision went blurry.”

“Barnett then slapped Mikayl in the face and said, ‘You’re fine,'” the police report said.

The woman told police she experienced “difficulty breathing, a raspy voice, coughing, trouble swallowing, neck pain, nausea, vomiting, agitation, amnesia, memory loss, visual changes, and headache,” according to the police report.

It doesn’t mention whether she sought medical attention,

The warrant request warns that the woman is at high risk for homicide and that she told authorities Barnett had previously threatened to kill her, the report says.

Court records confirm he was not in custody for days following approval of the May 12 warrant request.

Barnett appeared on the first season of “Love Island” in 2019. According to his social media and websites, the Salt Lake City-based personality now plays the drums in multiple bands, works as a model, and sells custom birthday and greetings videos for prices that start at $25.
