At it again: Sherrie Miller--troubled ex wife of golf pro John Daly--is in the news again, this time for allegedly threatening to post nude photos of a woman to social media, for which she was arrested Sunday night (right). Police said the alleged harassment arose out of an earlier domestic altercation between the women

Investigators say Miller texted the victim saying she would post the photos. On September 1, the victim told authorities that Miller had posted screenshots of photos of the victim to Miller's own Facebook page.

According to MyFoxMemphis.com, police went to Miller's Facebook page, where they say they discovered the photos.

Miller was booked Sunday night before 11 p.m.

This isn't Miller's first legal trouble involving a love rival. She's currently suing ex John Daly's fiancee, Anna Cladakis, for alienation of affection, citing claims Cladakis broke up their 9-year marriage.

She is suing Cladakis, to whom Daly became engaged in December, for unspecified damages.

Miller says her marriage with Daly ended because Cladakis and Daly developed a sexual relationship while the couple was separated. Daly's divorce from Miller was granted in 2010 after they separated in 2007.

Sextortion: Miller, who was married to Daly from 2001 to 2010, was arrested by authorities in Tennessee on Sunday on extortion and harassment charges after they say she found the woman's photos on her boyfriend's cell phone. Seen here in 2004, the couple has a son together named John Jr.

The Mississippi Supreme Court said in May that Miller may have grounds to collect damages if she can prove Daly and Cladakis conducted their relationship in Mississippi. 

Mississippi is one of only a handful of states that permit lawsuits for alienation of affections.

Cladakis has argued in court filings that she doesn't live in Mississippi and neither does Daly so Mississippi courts have no interest in the case.

Miller alleges the sexual trysts occurred in DeSoto County, Mississippi, which borders Memphis, Tennessee.

Daly won the PGA Championship in his first year on tour in 1991. He also won the British Open in 1995.

He has won five PGA tournaments overall. Daly announced on Twitter last December that he popped the question to Cladakis, whom he has been with for seven years.

Daly and Miller have a son, John Jr.
