Personal life

Carollo was arrested for domestic violence in 2001 after being accused of hurling a terra cotta teapot at his wife after berating her.[5][6] Carollo said he did not intend to hurl the teapot at his wife, but the wall.[6] His wife sought to get prosecutors to drop the charges.[6] The charges were dropped after Carollo completed an anger management course.[6]
