Puck faces a charge of misdemeanor spousal battery, and will appear in court on July 6.

David "Puck" Rainey gained notoriety on The Real World: San Francisco as the bike messenger who was impossible to live with. Indeed, he was kicked out of the house, but his antics helped make the show a hit, and setting the tone for reality TV as we know it today.

Puck has had several scrapes with the law, and with his own family, in recent years. In 2009, he pleaded no contest to domestic abuse charges and faced a year in jail. In 2010, David Rainey faced DUI charges after crashing his car in San Diego while driving with his young son.
