March 28 (UPI) -- Jodie Sweetin's ex-fiance Justin Hodak was arrested Monday after he violated a recent restraining order taken out on him.

The arrest marks the third in just over a week for Hodak.

The Fuller House star was granted a temporary restraining order against Hodak who was told to stay back 100 yards a day before a rep for Sweetin announced that their relationship was over after two years of dating.

Hodak was said to have "engaged in violent arguments with Sweetin, in which he threw objects at her," according to court documents and that "following a prior break-up with Sweetin, he came to the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, where Sweetin works as an actress, demanding to see her and engaging in a dispute with the security guards there. He also waited for Sweetin to confront her at her children's school."

Sweetin, 35, also said that Hodak, 40, had threatened to kill himself using a 9 millimeter pistol.

Another court hearing is scheduled for April 14.
