Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Former porn star Jenna Jameson was charged with battery over the weekend after police said she assaulted someone . The incident took place in Orange County on Saturday evening , police said . Authorities released bare-bones information about the incident Sunday night , saying little more than the person who was assaulted made a citizen 's arrest and called officers . Jameson , 38 , knows the person , but Newport Beach Police Lt. Evan Sailor said he did n't know what their relationship was . Police took Jameson to the Newport Beach Police Jail . She was later released without having to post bail . The battery charge is a misdemeanor . No one from the Jameson camp was available for comment . On Sunday afternoon , however , Jameson took to Twitter to offer a post that said she was robbed by a friend who `` broke into my home and took everything . '' Jameson added that the friend `` accused me of gusting her . '' At the height of her success , Jameson was an industry unto herself . She appeared in countless adult films , magazines , and strip clubs -- and as CEO of ClubJenna Inc. , launched a film production and online licensing company . In a 2004 interview with CNN following the publication of her book , `` How to Make Love Like a Porn Star : A Cautionary Tale , '' Jameson said she chose the right profession . `` I mean , I 've always been so overtly sexual . And I 've always been driven to succeed at something that has n't always been accepted by the American public , '' she told CNN 's Anderson Cooper . `` So I think I chose the right profession . '' She retired from porn in 2008 . In recent years , the mother of twins has found herself in the headlines for her brushes with the law . Last May , she crashed her Range Rover into a light pole in Orange County . Police charged her with driving under the influence . In April 2010 , the father of her twin boys , mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz , was charged with domestic violence when Jameson 's father called police as Ortiz and Jameson argued . Ortiz and his lawyer told reporters later that he was upset because he thought Jameson had relapsed in her rehabilitation from a prescription drug addiction . Four days after the incident , Jameson was captured by cameras alternately saying Ortiz was `` the sweetest , most amazing man '' and saying that he had beaten her .
The victim makes a citizen 's arrest and calls officers . Police does not know the relationship between the victim and police . The murder charge is a misdemeanor .
