Paul Qui, Former Top Chef Winner, Arrested for Domestic Assault

Paul Qui is accused of cooking up something very evil at his home in Texas.


The winner of Top Chef Season 9 in 2011, Qui was arrested in Austin on Saturday on charges that he assaulted his girlfriend, Stephanie Rodriguez.



According to the police report, officers arrived at Qui’s apartment after one of his friends called 911 to report a domestic dispute situation,


The cops on the scene reportedly found Qui with “blood all over his face, arms, legs and clothing,” while Rodriguez was crying and holding her young son.


Rodriguez told police that she and her child were asleep when Qui came home in the middle of the night with a group of acquaintances.


The men proceeded to wake up Rodriguez and talk her into joining them for a few drinks.


However, Qui allegedly grew angry and accused those in attendance of flirting with his girlfriend.


After giving his pals the boot from the premises, the former reality star supposedly started knocking over furniture before he reportedly picked Rodriguez up and hurled her against walls and doors because she tried to leave the apartment with her son.


Rodriguez alleges that Qui was drunk at the time and also high on multiple types of drugs.


The ex-Top Chef contestant, who is now free on $ 20,000 bail, was arrested and booked for unlawful restraint, as well as assault causing bodily injury to a family member, both of which are misdemeanors.


If these allegations prove true, he has definitely earned a spot in the list below:
