27-year-old Manuel Guzman was involved in a domestic altercation with Juan Vazquez, an intimate partner, on July 20th. When officers arrived at the crime scene, they spoke with Vazquez. He claimed that he had met Guzman on an app around midnight and that they met up at the location. Vazquez informed the officers that they drank alcohol together before having intercourse. In the morning, Guzman asked Vazquez to get something from the store, and Vazquez asked for his cell phone back from Guzman. Guzman refused to give Vazquez his phone, and when Vazquez tried to grab it, Guzman bit his lip. The officers noticed Vazquez’s swollen lip, caused by an injury consistent with a bite mark. Officers then attempted to call Vazquez’s phone and looked at Guzman’s two phones but could not find Vazquez’s phone. Guzman was then deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
