Adult film star Janine Marie James, the ex-wife of reality TV star Jesse James, was arrested Saturday on three outstanding harassment warrants in Hays County, authorities said.
James, 42, also known as Janine Lindemulder, was taken into custody by the Hays County Sheriff’s Office about 9 a.m. Saturday on three Class B misdemeanor charges. She was released from Hays County Jail the next day on bonds worth $6,000, court records show.
According to arrest affidavits, Jesse James told Hays County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jeri Skrocki that Janine has made repeated, unwanted telephone calls to him using obscene language.
Jesse James, founder of West Coast Choppers and former husband of actress Sandra Bullock, married Janine in 2002 and the couple have a daughter, who Jesse was awarded custody of following their divorce in October 2003, news reports say.
In the affidavits, Jesse indicates that he and Janine are in the middle of a custody battle over their daughter.
On Dec. 1, Skrocki called Janine James and her attorney, telling them that Jesse James wanted the calls to stop. Janine James agreed and said she would only call during court-appointed times to talk with her daughter, the affidavits state.
In January, however, Jesse James forwarded Skrocki three voicemail messages in which Janine James used obscene language in referring to his attorney. She said that Jesse James’ attorney had called her a prostitute.
“She indicated that he would know what a prostitute was,” one affidavit states.
According to legal documents obtained by the celebrity blog, TMZ.com, Jesse has received 300 calls from Janine since he moved to Texas.
Janine’s attorney told TMZ that she made the phone calls “out of frustration because he did not let her see or speak to her daughter for months.”
Janine, of Cottage Grove, Ore., who is best known for her pornographic films and magazine modeling, was arrested in May 2003 for assaulting Jesse James prior to their divorce.
In August 2008, Janine pled guilty to federal misdemeanor charges of willful failure to pay federal income taxes, and was sentenced to six months in federal prison, news reports say.
