Magro was arrested for felony domestic violence on Thursday in Los Angeles, while he's still on probation for a previous domestic violence case involving his ex, Jenn Harley.
Though Jenn was reportedly not involved in this incident, TMZ reports Ronnie was watching their daughter Ariana at the time; Harley drove from Las Vegas to L.A. to be with her.
Ronnie, meanwhile, is out on $100,000 bail.
