The case was dropped when the victim failed to appear in court, and the couple were later divorced.
Politico reported last night, meanwhile, that Bannon was charged with committing misdemeanor domestic violence against his then-wife in relation to a 1996 incident after which she told police that the couple had also had "three or four" previous arguments that "became physical". That's according to a police report and court documents cited by several news outlets.
Bannon, Clohesy and Trump's campaign declined to answer questions from The Gurdian about the home and Bannon's voter registration.
According to a statement from Bannon's spokesperson, quoted in the Politico article, "The bottom line is he has a great relationship with the twins, he has a great relationship with the ex-wife, he still supports them".
Court papers in the divorce and child custody proceedings show Bannon was living primarily in Tucson at the time, to work on Biosphere 2, a desert refuge enclosed in a glass dome for research.

In a speech yesterday, Hillary Clinton excoriated Donald Trump for aligning himself with the alt-right, using Bannon's hiring as her prime example.
Donald Trump's new presidential campaign chief is registered to vote in a key swing state at an empty house where he does not live, in an apparent breach of election laws. The New York Post first reported the charges. According to the report, the marriage had been violent before this incident. "Nobody lives there... we are going to make a construction there".
Bannon is the chairman of Breitbart News that has claimed voter fraud is common in minorities and in Democratic areas. The NPR report adds that Bannon had owed up to $136,000 to the IRS at the time, among other financial problems. According to the Guardian, Bannon is now registered to vote in the key swing state of Florida at an empty house where he has never lived. They had twins who were less than 1 year old then. Records show Bannon was, possibly as recently as today, registered to vote at a house in Florida's Miami-Dade County. Donald Trump has yet to weigh in on the story, but the revelation could provide an opportunity for Trump to show that he is actively trying to fix his relationship with alienated women voters.
The new Florida residence of Steve Bannon is reportedly a single-family home in Sarasota County, and nobody in or around the Trump campaign or Badolato has been willing to comment as to whether or not Steve Bannon is actually residing at the address. He was a very polite host: he chortled when I told him I'd written a negative review of The Undefeated, a truly awful film he made about Sarah Palin. But prior to the call, there had been no actual violence in Mr. and Mrs. Bannon's fights.
