Anka's Wife Arrested For Felony Domestic Battery

Veteran singer Paul Anka's wife has been arrested for felony domestic battery - four months after the couple wed.


Authorities were called to the singer's home in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks on 28 November (08) following a heated argument between Anka and his wife Anna Yeager.


According to TMZ.com, Anka needed medical attention after Yeager, 37, threw a piece of ice at her husband's head.


Anka, 67, received two staples to close the wound, returned home and called police the next morning to report his wife missing.


Upon her return, police made the arrest and booked her for felony domestic battery.


Anka, who did not press charges, tells the website, "It was a stupid little event. It was nothing," adding his wife has "been having a tough time with her ex over custody issues."


The Ventura County District Attorney's office has reportedly rejected the case.


The couple, which met when Swedish-born Yeager became Anka's personal trainer, has been together for four years.


They have a three-year-old son, Ethan.

I am sorry but looks like she has an anger problem God knows what he said to her for her to be so angry and be physical,and let me be clear , no matter what you do no hit ....and apparently he did not return the hit....make you think ....and then he is saying that it was nothing...AHA that sounds victim to me....I will love to hear her side of the story ....to compare.... in the photos she looks undernourished to me, looks anorexic....and if she is that equals to problems in the head .... poor Paul....he has to be careful because with 4 months of marriage and in this situation that does not sounds good at all...a woman that respect you and is in love with you does not hit you .....Remember this Paul....if she hits you she does not love you ......Be smart..GET OUT

As a long time fan of Paul Anka (hence my screen name) I feel Paul should have stayed with his first wife Anne, with whom he has 5 daughters. His new wife is too young for him, she could be his daughter. I'm sorry to hear of this & hope he is doing well. Will always love his music>
