Mary Delgado, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader who was proposed to on the reality TV show The Bachelor, punched her fiance in the mouth, Pinellas sheriff's deputies said. Delgado, 40, received a proposal on the show in 2004 from professional bass fisherman Byron Velvick.
On Wednesday, just after midnight, Delgado was taken into custody on a battery charge and was under the influence of alcohol when she was arrested, according to an arrest report. The report does not name her fiance but says the pair have lived together "as a family" for the last three years.
The couple appeared together the day before in a special episode of The Bachelor called "After the Final Rose." During the show, Delgado told the audience she had taken up her fiance's sport of fishing, that the pair was doing a lot of traveling and they planned to get married in November.
"I love this man so much that I have fallen in love with the sport that he loves," Delgado said.
