Tom Arnold: 'My ex sent a SWAT team to my house while my kids slept'
"She swatted the kids that I were home sleeping on a school night. She calls the cops. His name is Tom Arnold. He's very violent. He's got a lot of guns. And I'm worried about the kids. There's a protocol out here. They have to come in hot. The SWAT team guns out."
Tom Arnold disclosed that his ex-wife Ashley called police on Christmas claiming he was violent and had guns while he and their children were sleeping on a school night, triggering a SWAT team response. Arnold says he had to meet armed officers at the door to prevent them from waking the sleeping children. He characterizes this as one of approximately 16 police incidents his ex-wife initiated during their custody battle, which he says happened in front of their young children and put them at risk.
