As previously reported, Don Cornelius was arrested last month after allegedly getting into a dispute with an unnamed person at his home.
The alleged victim was female but police will not say if the person was his wife.
The former "Soul Train" host has been charged with three counts of spousal battery, one count of dissuading a witness from making a police report, and one count of assault with a deadly weapon.
If Cornelius is convicted of all of the charges filed by the L.A. City Attorney it may land him in jail for five years. The charges, all misdemeanors, are said to be from two separate incidents.
Apparently Don Cornelius, former host of "Soul Train", was arrested the night of October 17.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a "domestic dispute" call from Cornelius' home on Mulholland Drive earlier that night. Shortly thereafter they arrested the 72-year-old Cornelius on charges of domestic violence.
Cornelius was taken to the LAPD jain in Van Nuys and bail was set at $50,000. He was released early morning Oct. 18.
Cornelius is married however the victims identity was not revealed. There is no report of injury or if the victim had gone to the hospital.
