According to the report, police were called to an apartment Sunday evening "to respond to a domestic dispute" between the two.

Dash was taken into custody and transported to the Land O' Lakes detention facility without incident.
She posted bail and was released on Monday morning, according to a spokesperson for the Pasco County Sheriff.
CNN has reached out to Dash's representatives for comment.
