Lozada had lacerations on her forehead when police arrived and Johnson was arrested. Johnson was also arrested for a domestic dispute during college.
A police spokesperson told the Palm Beach Post that the fight began when Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms.
"It gets pretty heated," the police spokesman told the paper. "By the time they get home here in Davie it's pretty heated. She alleges he leaned over and head-butted her. He says she leaned towards him and that they butted heads. Needless to say she has a good laceration on her forehead."
Johnson and Lozada were married on July 4. He will remain in police custody until a bail hearing is set.
