The Superior Court has imposed a $25,000 cash bail on a man accused of beating and strangling his girlfriend in a fit of rage.<\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho has imposed a $25,000 cash bail on Joseph Shane Duenas Aldan who was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Aldan, 36, is facing charges of assault and battery, strangulation, and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
After his hearing, Aldan was remanded back to Department of Corrections custody.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint against Aldan, his girlfriend said she had been in an \u201con and off relationship\u201d with him and had been living with him at a bed-and-breakfast in Chalan Kanoa.<\/p>\n
She said she left the B&B on Jan. 1, 2023, at about 4pm after an argument with Aldan.<\/p>\n
On Jan. 2, she said, she woke up at about 9:45am and saw that Aldan had sent her over 50 messages, including photos and videos on WhatsApp, and had also called her over 10 times.<\/p>\n
The victim said Aldan, in one of his messages, threatened to kill himself with a razor blade if she did not respond.<\/p>\n
She claims he also sent photos and a video of himself with cuts on his chest and neck.<\/p>\n
She said the messages scared her so she went back to the B&B. She said when she entered Aldan\u2019s room it was completely dark, as the TV, window and lamp were covered.<\/p>\n
Aldan then started accusing her of bringing somebody else into his room.<\/p>\n
She said when she tried to leave, Aldan approached her from the front, and, with his left arm, elbowed her left chest which caused her to slam against the wall.<\/p>\n
When she tried to leave again, she said Aldan elbowed her again, slamming her against the wall.<\/p>\n
She said Aldan then grabbed her and threw her to the floor before allegedly standing behind her and using his arms to strangle her for about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
She said she screamed for help.<\/p>\n
The victim said when Aldan finally let her go, she ran outside and called for help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
