The Bachelor's Amanda Stanton was arrested last week on domestic violence charges involving her boyfriend, Bobby Jacobs, and the pair seem to have worked things out.

Stanton, who appeared on season 20 of The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise's season three, was in Las Vegas for a friend's bachelorette party when she reportedly shoved Jacobs as he was talking to officers who responded to a noise complaint. She was arrested Sept. 10 for misdemeanor domestic violence, TMZ reported.

According to arrest reports obtained by RadarStanton began yelling at Jacobs for not responding to her messages. He claimed he was asleep and that Stanton began to hit him after hours of arguing. The 32-year-old said Stanton "swung" a hotel phone at him and "continued to scratch and pinch" him. Jacobs called some friends to the hotel room and they alerted hotel security.

Stanton has since apologized for the incident through her rep, Steve Honig.

“Amanda is embarrassed and ashamed this happened and sincerely apologizes to hotel security and the Las Vegas Police Department," Honig said in a statement to PEOPLE. "Amanda is a gentle, respectful person who has never gotten physical with anyone under any circumstance. That evening she had a few drinks at a bachelorette party and when hotel security asked her and Bobby to quiet down, she got a bit rambunctious.”

“Amanda gave Bobby what she thought was a playful shove; hotel security did their job and reported the incident to the police, who in turn did their job,” Honig continued. “Despite Bobby explaining this was not an ill-intended shove, the police still had to do their job which Amanda completely respects and understands.”

“Amanda continues to be embarrassed by her behavior and greatly regrets the incident ever occurred,” Honig wrote in a separate statement to PEOPLE. “She apologizes to everyone for the trouble she has caused and is very grateful for Bobby’s love and support."

The 28-year-old reality star posted a photo of her and Jacobs relaxing on a private jet on her Instagram story Tuesday and later shared a picture of her and Jacobs enjoying ice cream as she rests her head on his shoulder.
