Days of Our Lives: All About Deidrick’s Epic Argument!
The Days of Our Lives star “allegedly” had a verbal spat with his girlfriend, leading to accusations of domestic assault. She even tried to dial 91. Yikes! However, Deidrick’s side of the story tells us that his girlfriend triggered the fight. Why? She was secretly recording Casey on her phone, which didn’t sit well with him.
Subsequently, he snatched the phone from her hands, but the drama didn’t stop there. The DAYS celeb also told cops that she tried to strangle him, but authorities found no evidence to support the claim. Interestingly, Deidrick’s girlfriend stated that she backed off right when the situation worsened and even hid in the kitchen.
Furthermore, the actor reportedly went after her to take her phone and refused to give it back. The scene got her all panicky, and she started calling 911, but Casey wouldn’t let her. Later, he returned her phone when she agreed to leave the house. Still, the damage had been done, and it invited charges of domestic violence.

Consequently, Deidrick served a brief jail time at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and posted a $2,500 bond. He got out, but at what cost—a bad reputation!

The soap actor has been keeping busy with roles in Teen Wolf, In the Dark, and Wedding Season, among others post-DAYS. In fact, Casey will be part of many upcoming ventures listed on IMDb.
