Former CEO of Dippin' Dots ice cream accused of drunkenly strangling and beating his girlfriend

The former CEO of Dippin' Dots was arrested for allegedly strangling his girlfriend before he walked outside naked at their home just north of Oklahoma City. 

Scott Fischer, 44, was detained just after midnight on Wednesday after Nichols Hills Police received complaints about domestic abuse.

Officers who arrived on the scene said they saw him standing outside on the front lawn without any clothes on, according to local television station KFOR. 

He was taken to Oklahoma County Jail on charges related to domestic abuse by strangulation, interfering with a 9-1-1 call, indecent exposure, and public intoxication, authorities said. 

Fischer came home from work drunk on Tuesday before he got into an argument with his girlfriend at 5.45pm, according to an arrest affidavit.

The couple began arguing again almost six hours later when she was trying to go to bed but it escalated, the report says.

He allegedly grabbed her shirt and began assaulting her. He grabbed her by the throat and began choking her until she slapped him to get away, the affidavit claims. 

The physical altercation then moved into the living room where Fischer allegedly threw her over the couch.

She fell onto her back and he is said to have punched her in the chest and police said they found several small droplets of blood behind the seat cushions. 

Fischer's girlfriend got up and called 911 and he allegedly tried to stop her by taking the phone away.

She eventually got out of the house and police arrived on the scene soon after. 

Officers said Fischer was 'completely naked with a blank expression on his face' as he stood with a 'circular sway.'

He had a 'strong odor of an alcoholic beverage' and was 'unsteady on his feet as we walked him to the patrol vehicle' according to the police. 

It comes after Fischer was sued by his ex-girlfriend in 2021 over claims he shared nude photos of her and even sent them to her mother during a custody dispute.

In the lawsuit filed in Oklahoma County District Court, Amanda Brown said she was in a relationship with Fischer from 2019 to 2020, claiming it was tumultuous because of his 'dangerous tendency to abuse alcohol.'

He allegedly 'drank frequently and excessively,' according to the court documents and 'failed several attempts at sobriety'. 

Fischer acquired the miniature ice cream pellet company from bankruptcy in 2012 and helped the company reach $300 million in retail sales.

Under his leadership, the company has expanded into 12 countries outside of the United States, and led the company's acquisition of Doc Popcorn, the largest franchised retailer of popcorn in the world.

He stepped down as CEO in July 2022 and started his own private investment company called Fischer Capital, according to his LinkedIn page.
