Officers made contact with victim and eventual arrestee inside suspect’s vehicle, a blue Kia Optima. “Officers separated both parties, and initially, both parties (said) there was only an argument and that nothing became physical,” the report stated.
“However, upon obtaining additional information, both parties were confronted with that information (indicating) they had been involved in a physical altercation,” the report further stated.
“(Eventual arrestee) was observed to have a red mark on her left cheek and scratch marks on her left neck/upper chest area. (Victim) was observed with a swollen left eye and an abrasion just above his left eye,” plus “a welted scratch mark on the left side of his neck.”
Victim said “he had accidentally called (eventual arrestee’s) ex-best friend, and she found out, becoming upset,” the report stated. “They engaged in an argument when she pushed him. (Victim) admitted that he pushed (eventual arrestee) back in an attempt to get her to vacate his hotel room,” adding she “began to swing at him, and she made contact with his left eye, causing the injuries.
“(Victim) said he put his arms out and tried to hold her back, with his hands being placed near her upper chest area. (Eventual arrestee said) she could not remember exactly how the physical altercation started, but that she remembered (victim) approaching her closely, to which she pushed him to get away from her.”
“… After further investigation, (eventual arrestee) admitted that she had passed out on the bed and awoke to (victim) on the phone with her ex-best friend …, then admitted that she became extremely upset with (victim) over the situation.
