Drunk man arrested for domestic abuse
A drunk man allegedly squeezed hard the left shoulder of his common-law wife, threatened to kill her, and resisted police arrest at their home in Koblerville Housing early Thursday morning.
Edward Castro Villagomez, 53, was arrested for assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and assaulting a police officer.
The wife told police that it was not the first time that Villagomez physically abused her.
Police officer Christopher Santos sustained a scratch after Villagomez allegedly swung his hand when the officer tried to handcuff him.
At a hearing on Friday, Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho imposed a $1,250 cash bail. Preliminary hearing will be on Aug. 15 at 9am.
Police detective Therese S. Kintoki stated in her report that when police officers Santos and John Wabol responded to a report of a disturbance at Koblerville Housing, the victim and her 10-year-old daughter met them.
The victim told the officers that Villagomez created disturbance at their house in front of their six children.
Preliminary investigation showed that Villagomez had arrived home drunk and became upset when his wife refused to give him money to buy beer.
Villagomez allegedly squeezed hard her upper left shoulder, shouted profanities at her, and threatened to kill her. The wife then called the police.
When Santos and Wabol entered the house upon the permission of the wife, Villagomez shouted at the officers, telling them they have no permission to get in without a warrant.
When Santos tried to arrest Villagomez, he allegedly resisted by swinging his hand. Wabol aided Santos in placing the handcuff.
As another police officer was transporting Villagomez to the Department of Corrections, the defendant allegedly stated that when gets out he will beat up his wife.
Villagomez also allegedly mentioned that he regrets not hitting Santos hard enough to knock him out.
