'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham Pleads Not Guilty To Battery

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Reality TV personality Farrah Abraham has been charged with attacking a security guard at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Monday.

Abraham, a former "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" star, faces one misdemeanor count each of battery and resisting, delaying or obstructing a peace officer. The 27-year-old pleaded not guilty to the charges Monday and is scheduled for pretrial in a Los Angeles County Superior Court on Sept. 21, the press release said.

On June 13, Abraham allegedly got into a verbal fight with hotel guests and then hit a security guard with her forearm, police said. Officers went to the hotel in the 9600 block of Sunset Boulevard at about 1:20 a.m. "for a report of a disturbance inside the hotel restaurant," Beverly Hills Police Lt. Elisabeth Albanese said.

"A male adult hotel security officer reported that he asked Abraham to leave the hotel after she refused to disengage from a verbal altercation with hotel guests," Albanese said. "The security officer reported that Abraham struck him in the face with her forearm, grabbed his ear and pushed him in the face as he attempted to prevent her from re-entering the hotel. Officers noted that Abraham exhibited signs of intoxication during the investigation."

The security officer suffered a minor injury, Albanese said. According to TMZ.com, the star was heard playing the "I'm a celebrity" card, yelling things like "you should know who I am."'

If convicted as charged, Abraham faces a possible maximum sentence of 18 months in jail. The case remains under investigation by the Beverly Hills Police Department.
