45-year-old Christopher Mercado was jailed Thursday night after assaulting his ex-girlfriend at their home on Kirkwall Drive. Heather Brown told officers that she and Mercado live in the same house but are separated and have separate bedrooms. She explained that he came home drunk and became aggressive. He entered her room and followed her into the bathroom while arguing with her. Mercado then began throwing her belongings against the wall and bathroom floor. Heather was cornered and believed that he would hurt her. Mercado then walked up to Heather, said, “Get the fuck out my way,” grabbed her by the wrist, and pushed her against the wall in the bathroom. When Heather told Mercado that she was calling the police, he became upset and responded, “You bitch, I can’t believe you’d do that,” and drove away drunk from the scene.
