According to TMZ, Amber and Tasya van Ree got in an argument on September 14, 2009 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The 30-year-old actress reportedly grabbed and struck Tasya on the arm, which prompted the arrest.
According to law enforcement documents, the star was arrested and booked for misdemeanor domestic violence.
Amber had her mug shot taken and appeared in court the following day, however prosecutors declined to move forward with the case because both women involved were residents of California, not Seattle.
