46-year-old Yesmin Castro was involved in a domestic altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Laura Mendez, at her Clearview Drive residence on July 11th. When officers arrived, they spoke with Mendez, who claimed that Castro, her ex-boyfriend and father to her children, had suspected her of cheating. Mendez claimed that Castro came to her home and tried to take her phone away from her. During this altercation, Mendez alleges that Castro grabbed her arm, bear-hugged her, and pushed her as she tried to get away. This caused Mendez to feel assaulted during the scuffle, prompting her to call the police. Officers then spoke with Castro, who admitted to officers that he did grab Mendez in an attempt to get the phone. Based on the statements made, Castro was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
