24-year-old Nicole Barrueta was involved in a domestic dispute with her intimate partner, Jhon Anthony Vera, at their Donelson Pike residence on July 25th. When officers arrived, Vera told them there was an argument over a phone. Vera stated he took Barrueta’s phone and left. When Vera returned, he tried to ignore Barrueta so as not to cause another altercation. Vera noted that this might’ve caused Barrueta to get more agitated, leading to him getting attacked. During the assault, Barrueta cut Vera with a pair of scissors. After observing the cut marks on Vera, officers went to speak with Barrueta. Barrueta corroborated most of Vera’s statements but stated that she never used any scissors to cut him. Barrueta was then taken into custody for aggravated assault.
