Ronnie Magro-Ortiz won’t be charged with a felony in his domestic violence case … but he’s not exactly out of the woods just yet.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the “Jersey Shore” star will NOT be charged with a felony in his latest domestic violence arrest involving his GF, Saffire Matos, because the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office determined it didn’t have sufficient evidence.
As a result, we’re told the case has been kicked down to the L.A. City Attorney’s Office … meaning if Ronnie gets charged at all, it’ll only be a misdemeanor. That being said … Ronnie still has a very serious potential probation issue.
Ronnie’s attorney, Scott Leemon, tells TMZ, “If this reporting is true, as we said from the beginning, initial reports and unreviewed charges are often and; in Ronnie’s case, wrong. We are glad the DA’s office made this decision not to charge a felony. We will await a decision from the County Attorney’s office.”
As we reported … Ronnie’s no stranger to domestic violence cases. He went down this road before with his ex, Jenn Harley. He got probation in that case … so this latest arrest could end up with a judge hitting him with a violation of that probation.
As we told you … Saffire’s the one who called police when an argument allegedly turned physical, which led to Ronnie’s arrest. Saffire later took to social media to downplay the allegations … telling fans not to believe reports of what had happened and that she and Ronnie were “fine.”
