Years before filing a restraining order against her estranged husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard was reportedly arrested for domestic violence after an argument with her then-girlfriend.

TMZ has reported from legal documents, law enforcement sources and court hearings that Heard, 30, got into an altercation with Tasya van Ree at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on September 14, 2009. The Danish Girl actress was allegedly booked for misdemeanor domestic violence after grabbing van Reeโ€™s arm.

After Heard appeared in court the following day, the prosecutor declined to file charges but warned Heard she could reconsider and refile within the two-year statute of limitation period. 

As previously reported, Heard was granted a restraining order against Depp, 52, late last month, just days after filing for divorce after more than a year of marriage. In court documents, she alleged that Depp abused and threw an iPhone at her face.
