Intoxicated Santa Monica Man, 25, Arrested After Injuring Girlfriend During Argument: Alert Police Blotter: One Too Many.

An intoxicated 25-year-old Santa Monica man was arrested Thursday, April 4 after returning to his apartment after a night out and injuring his girlfriend during an argument.

At 11:51 pm officers of the Santa Monica Police Department were called out to the 1300 block of 12th Street in order to investigate a domestic violence incident.

Upon arrival the officers spotted a young woman who was standing outside the apartment complex in question.

The young woman appeared very upset, evidenced by tears streaming from her eyes as she cried.

The officers spoke with this young woman who told them she lived in an apartment in the complex with her boyfriend.

She continued to explain that earlier in the evening the boyfriend had returned home accompanied by a friend, and added that the boyfriend was intoxicated.

She said they had begun to argue and that the boyfriend had pushed her backwards.

This act had caused her to hit a divider and then to fall down to the ground, causing a laceration to her arm.

The officers subsequently found the boyfriend and arrested him.

This Santa Monica resident was charged with domestic violence and a violation of probation.

Bail was not granted.

Editor’s Note: These reports are part of a regular police coverage series entitled “Alert Police Blotter” (APB), which injects some minor editorial into certain police activities in Santa Monica. Not all of the Mirror’s coverage of incidents involving police are portrayed in this manner.
