Legal Troubles
On September 25, 2009, an officer from the Memorial Villages Police Department, near Houston, was told by Knoblauch's common-law wife, Stacey Victoria Stelmach, that he hit and choked her. A police officer's sworn affidavit alleged that "redness around her neck and swelling near her eye consistent with her statement." On September 29, 2009, the Harris County, Texas District Attorney charged Knoblauch with assaulting a family member by choking, a third-degree felony in Texas. Knoblauch pled guilty to misdemeanor assault in connection with the case on March 16, 2010. The couple is reportedly going through a divorce.
