An intoxicated man allegedly punched the face of his wife twice in front of their two children and threatened to kill her while they were inside a car in Papago last Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The victim told police that she was so scared of Derek Sablan Palacios that she tried to jump out of the car.<\/p>\n
Palacios was taken to Superior Court yesterday for a bail hearing on charges of assault and battery-domestic violence, and disturbing the peace. His bail was set at $2,000 cash.<\/p>\n
Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda appeared for the government. Assistant public defender Mathew Meyer served as counsel for the defendant.<\/p>\n
Police detective Therese S. Kintoki stated in her report that the Department of Public Safety received a call on Sunday night about a domestic violence incident near Botanical Garden<\/p>\n
Responding police officer Raymond Pangelinan was traveling along Isa Drive near Tangantangan Drive in Papago when several bystanders flagged him down at 7:26pm.<\/p>\n
The bystanders directed him to the victim, who was with her two children. Another bystander also pointed in the direction of the bus stop, where Palacios was sitting.<\/p>\n
The victim told police that Palacios had been drinking since that morning and punched her twice on the head inside their vehicle.<\/p>\n
Palacios was then arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
