Actress Jodie Sweetin’s broken engagement was capped off by a call to 911 and a trip to jail.

The 35-year-old “Fuller House” star called authorities when her now ex-fiancé Justin Hodak stormed out of their home threatening suicide, reports TMZ.

Sweetin told authorities that she and Hodak had a terrible altercation that ended with the duo calling off their engagement. Hodak then reportedly threatened to kill himself, prompting Sweetin to seek help.

When the police arrived at her residence, she told them Hodak had a gun in the bedroom. According to TMZ, Hodak is a felon so possession of the gun was illegal. When he returned home the cops were waiting and hauled him into jail.

Hodak was bailed out a few hours later.

The couple dated for two years before announcing their engagement in January 2016.

Sweetin took to Instagram to show off a photo of her diamond ring, captioning the post, “So… Looks like the cats outta the bag! Haha! I’m so happy and he did a GREAT job with the ring! Good taste @justinhodak_ I love you!!”

Sweetin has had a checkered romantic history, having been married three times before her engagement to Hodak.

At age 20 she married her first husband, L.A. police officer Shaun Holguin — but they split four years later.

Next Sweetin married Cody Herpin, a film transportation coordinator in Las Vegas in 2007. They have one daughter, Zoie, together but separated the next year. Their divorce was finalized in 2010.

That year her reps confirmed that she and boyfriend of one year, Morty Coyle, were expecting a child. Their daughter Beatrix was born in 2010. They married in 2012 but filed for legal separation in June 2013.

Sweetin is a recovering drug addict. She has revealed that when “Full House” wrapped in 1995 she turned to drugs including ecstasy, methamphetamine and crack. A memoir called “unSweetined” chronicled her downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse.
