Ke'Shaun Witherspoon

30-year-old Larron Waller was caught after being in a domestic altercation with his ex-girlfriend Destiny Cruzado-Acosta at Speedway on Gallatin Pike on July 2nd. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Acosta, who informed them she let Waller drive her vehicle but asked for her keys back. Acosta informed officers that she was in the passenger seat and Waller was driving when she asked for her keys back. Waller then refused to give Acosta her keys back, and in response to this, Acosta began to record him on her cell phone. Officers then viewed a video from earlier that night showing Acosta asking Waller for her keys back multiple times. Waller then told Acosta, “Stop recording me,” and swung his hand at the phone, smacking it out of Acosta’s hand. Acosta informed officers that Waller smacked her hands when he smacked the phone and felt the contact to be excessive and unnecessary. Waller was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault. Waller was also previously arrested in April 2024 for punching a different girlfriend in 2023.
