33-year-old Aura Ambrocio Garcia was booked on February 15th for assaulting her partner on McMurray Drive. Aura told officers that she and her boyfriend, Jonatan Gomez, had gotten into an argument because he was drunk and wouldn’t leave her alone. Garcia admitted to becoming frustrated and slapping Gomez in the face. Garcia stated that Gomez retaliated by pinning her to the bed by her arms, slapping her, and strangling her.
Officers then spoke with Gomez, who advised that he saw a text message on Garcia’s phone that bothered him. When Gomez brought it up to Garcia, she became frustrated and slapped him in the face. Gomez said he reacted by slapping her back in self-defense. Due to Garcia assaulting Gomez first, officers determined Garcia to be the primary aggressor and taken into custody.
