LaRue, 38, whose given name is Stoney LaRue Phillips, was
arrested on Monday after Oklahoma City police responded to a
report of an argument between LaRue and his girlfriend, police
said.
LaRue apologized to his family, friends and fans in a statement
on Tuesday and said he was "going to take some time to work on
myself.
"I will be entering an intensive and extensive program, and I
appreciate your thoughts and good wishes for me during this
trying time," he said.
The woman told police LaRue had been out drinking with a friend
until 4 a.m. on Monday and an argument ensued later after the
sound of her hair dryer woke him up.
According to arrest records, LaRue threw her curling iron,
makeup bag and other items down the stairs. When she bent over
to pick up the items, LaRue pushed her, causing her to fall head
first down the stairs, the report said.
LaRue was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail and released on
bond, police said.
