Davie police Capt. Dale Engle said Johnson's wife, Evelyn Lozada, from the reality show "Basketball Wives," confronted Johnson about a receipt she had found for a box of condoms. Lozada was treated at a hospital for a forehead cut.

Engle said Johnson is in Broward County Jail until he can appear before a judge, possibly not until Monday.
