‘So You Think You Can Dance?’ season 4 winner is charged with felony domestic violence

The winner of the fourth season of the show “So You Think You Can Dance” was charged Thursday with felony domestic violence against a woman he attacked three times this year, Los Angeles County prosecutors said.

Joshua Demon Allen, 27, pleaded not guilty to two counts of willfully injuring a girlfriend after a prior conviction and a count of assault with a deadly weapon using a glass vase during the June 19 attack, prosecutors said.

According to the criminal complaint, a protective order had been issued against Allen in January prohibiting him from contacting his ex-girlfriend after he was convicted of a domestic violence-related misdemeanor.

He is suspected of attempting to strangle the same woman on April 13 and of chasing her her into a coffee shop and trying to attack her again on June 19 as bystanders tried to intervene.

Allen threw a glass vase at a woman who tried to help and vandalized the shop until he was subdued by customers, prosecutors said.

Allen is being held on $100,000 bail and is due back in court Aug. 17. If convicted, he faces more than 10 years in prison.
