54-year-old Johnny Rodriguez had a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Alyssa Rudder, at their Daybreak Drive residence in the early hours of May 20th. Around 1:33 a.m., Rodriguez’s son called the police, stating that his dad was arguing with his girlfriend, and it sounded like it had become physical. When officers arrived, they located Rodriguez and Rudder, who both reeked of alcohol and appeared intoxicated. Rodriguez told police nothing had happened, adding it was just a verbal disagreement. Officers noticed a bruise under Rodriguez’s eye and asked him how it occurred, but he would not explain.
Then, officers spoke with Rudder, who stated that around 5 p.m. on May 19th, they were leaving the liquor store in Rodriguez’s car. Rudder said Rodriguez had struck her in the head five times before pulling her hair, leaving bruises on her forearm and wrist and scratches on the back of her neck. Rudder added that later that day, they went to Taco Bell for food, during which Rodriguez exited his car without parking it, causing it to roll with her inside. Rudder stated when she got into the front seat to stop the car, Rodriguez came to the driver’s side door, grabbed her foot, and bit it. Rodriguez was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for two counts of domestic assault.
