A 28-year-old Carson City woman was arrested in the 100 block of E. Hampton Drive Thursday evening on the offense of domestic battery, first.
The woman was arrested after deputies were dispatched to the residence in report of a domestic battery in progress. The reporting party, the woman’s boyfriend of several years, told deputies that the woman was currently hitting him.
When deputies arrived on scene, they met with the boyfriend in the open garage and the girlfriend inside the residence.
The boyfriend told deputies he’d found out the woman was talking to other men, and when he confronted her, she “went crazy” and began yelling at him.
He told deputies during arguments she had a tendency to break doors in the house, and so during their argument he began to remove the door to their bedroom. She began kicking him during the process, but he was able to remove the door.
She continued yelling at him, he said, before picking up the door and throwing it at him. He said he tried to get out of the way of the door but it hit his lower legs. Deputies noted scratches approximately two inches long and one inches wide on his left knee, and small scratches on the back of his right calf.
Deputies spoke with the woman who denied hitting her boyfriend. She showed deputies a cell phone video taken around 10:30. In the video, it did not show the incident but showed the woman stomping on the ground. She said she was stomping on the door laying on the ground. This corroborated the claim that the door at some point had fallen flat on the ground.
She told deputies to speak to her adolescent child about what happened.
Deputies spoke to the child, who said the woman had been yelling at the man, and the man had removed the door during the argument. The woman had thrown the door at the man during the argument, the child said, and the man was hit in the legs as the door fell.
She was taken into custody without incident.
