Ferguson has been charged with burglary, strangulation, assault, terroristic threatening, menacing, criminal mischief, and theft of a stolen debit or credit card, St. Matthews police said in a statement Wednesday.
Authorities declined to comment further.

Ferguson competed on three seasons of Tournament of Champions, hosted by Guy Fieri, and is a frequent judge on Chopped and Guy’s Grocery Games.
He also appeared on OWN’s The Big Holiday Food Fight and Food Fantasies.
