More details have been revealed in the case of powerlifter and former boxer Stefi Cohen after she was arrested in Miami-Dade County last week.
Cohen – full name Stefanie Cohen Magarici – was arrested on a domestic violence charge on July 2 stemming from an incident the day prior.
According to court documents (via TMZ), Cohen got physical with her boyfriend in an altercation at their Miami-area home on July 1 around 12:47pm.
Documents reveal that the alleged victim informed officers that the pair were arguing over their relationship when he discovered that Cohen ‘was recording their conversation with her computer’.
At this point, the man told officers he grabbed his phone and put it in his pocket. Cohen then got physical with him – scratching him on his neck and chest and tearing his pants pocket in an attempt to get at the device. Cohen allegedly said she thought that he had grabbed her phone instead.
Documents say that Cohen told a different story, alleging that her boyfriend struck her with a closed fist and scratched her on her face.
More details have been revealed over powerlifter Stefi Cohen’s domestic violence charge
The 33-year-old fitness influencer was arrested for alleged domestic violence last week
She has been dating Tristan Hamm, also a boxer and influencer, over the past 18 months
But the report reads: ‘based on the fact that the victim in this case is a professional fighter and the allegations made by the defendant claim that she was struck by him with a closed first, there is no physical evidence of injuries on the defendant [Cohen] that supports her allegations.’
Police added, ‘the victim in this case had injuries consistent with his statement regarding what occurred with the defendant.’
Cohen, who has a professional boxing record of 4-1-1, was eventually detained and charged with domestic violence battery.
The pair had shared countless photos together over the past 18 months, with Tristan’s last coming on June 25 – a week before his girlfriend’s alleged arrest. Stefi has not posted any snaps with her man since March 28.
This isn’t the first time that Cohen has had a run-in with the law having been arrested last year on a charge of sexual cyberharassment.
The Venezuela native allegedly accessed the ex in question’s computer by trying commonly-used passwords, before accessing his iCloud – where she found several nude images of his new girlfriend and posted them to a group chat she was part of, according to court documents seen by NBC Miami.
He had reportedly left the computer behind when he left the home they shared in March 2022.
The alleged victim contacted police in November 2023, saying Cohen told her she was sending the images ‘with the purpose of exposing and humiliating her.’
Last year she was charged with sexual cyber-harassment after allegedly hacking into her ex-boyfriend’s laptop and leaking nude photos of his new lover (2024 mug shot above)
Cohen has since moved on with Hamm, with the couple sharing several photos together
According to Men’s Health, she holds the all-time world records for the squat, total, and deadlift for the 123-pound weight class
Cohen was arrested at her Coconut Grove home as she walked outside, with police saying she tried to resist arrest.
According to the police report, Cohen ‘did not comply and began to walk at fast pace back to her residence.’
When police informed her she could not go back in the home, Cohen allegedly ‘stated she was not going with them and began to physically resist.’
After being placed in handcuffs, Cohen reportedly ‘tensed up her arms’ and ‘right leg hooked’ one of the officers, allegedly trying to ‘sweep him off his feet.’
Cohen continued trying to resist arrest after she was placed in the back of a squad car, per court documents.
Police say once in the patrol car, she ‘placed her right leg on the latch to unlock the door and grabbed it with her toes.’
Cohen then ‘pulled the latch with her toes and intentionally broke the locking system causing the door not to lock at all.’
She was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center but was released after posting a $3,300 bond and ordered to stay away from her ex and his new partner.
According to Men’s Health, Cohen holds the all-time world records for the squat, total, and deadlift for the 123-pound weight class.
She has had six professional boxing fights to date, winning four of them and losing one while drawing the other.
