90 Day Fiancé alum Rick Van Vactor reportedly says he acted in self-defense in the incident that led to his arrest. A source with direct knowledge told TMZ that Van Vactor claims his girlfriend started the fight.
These are allegations and one-sided claims. No police statement has confirmed what happened, and the girlfriend’s account has not been reported.
90 Day Fiancé: What the Source Says

90 Day Fiancé: The Arrest and the Relationship
Van Vactor, whose legal name is Douglas Van Vactor, was arrested on October 27 and later released on bond. That date matches the California custody record we covered earlier.
The source says he and his girlfriend started dating in March after meeting online. This was reportedly the first time an argument between them escalated to this level.
Since the incident, the two have reportedly not lived together. The source says Van Vactor has no interest in getting back together.
90 Day Fiancé: What Is Still Unknown
Key facts are still missing. Authorities have not publicly named a charge or described the circumstances. The girlfriend has not been identified, and the report did not include her side.
An arrest or a claim does not decide what happened. That is for the legal process.
Van Vactor appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days with Trisha Stiley. Their relationship ended. His current situation involves a different relationship.
