According to the report, Miles Ray Dodd was arrested after deputies were dispatched to a residence in reference to a domestic battery. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with the victim, who advised her ex-boyfriend had attacked her.
According to the victim, Dodd came to her residence the night before to pick up some of his belongings. Once he gathered his belongings, he left the residence, but a short time later he returned and began knocking on the door loudly, the arrest report states.
The victim stated that she opened the door so it would not cause a scene, and Dodd entered the residence and began insulting her. The victim said they got into a verbal argument, at which point Dodd allegedly punched her in the face, which caused bruising and swelling. Deputies noted fresh bruising and swelling to the victim’s lip.
The victim said she began swinging her arms in self defense, and was able to get away from Dodd and drive to a grocery store to call 911. She said Dodd left the residence riding a yellow bicycle. Deputies located the yellow bicycle in some bushes the apartment complex, and they located Dodd inside the victim’s apartment, the report states.
Dispatch also advised Dodd had a warrant out of Reno. Dodd agreed to speak with deputies and told them he had gone to the residence to pick up some items. He said he began arguing with his ex because she was seeing someone else and would not give him another chance to date her. He said he became upset and attacked, the report states.
Dodd told deputies the victim had cut his right arm with a kitchen knife. Deputies observed what appeared to be a scratch mark on his arm, and questioned Dodd about his honesty. Dodd admitted to not being truthful. When asked for the truth, Dodd gave the same story.
