According to police reports, Nida was charged with simple battery - family violence after an incident involving his current wife of two years, Sherien Copes.

Nida and Copes had gotten into an argument about how they were cheating on one another after she got home from a bar, according to the police report. During the argument, Copes said Nida showed her a video of her kissing another man.

She says that’s when he grabbed her by the hair and pushed her against the refrigerator. She said they then had a “scuffle” and she ran outside to call for help.
