Narrative
On 03/20/18 at approximately 0646 hours, I (Officer E. Domingo #10782) was dispatched to
regarding a battery that just occurred (call #0328).
Several units assisted on this call.
The call was later determined to also be a terrorist threats, vandalism, and felony spousal abuse.
The dispatch location was later updated to
The location is a one-story studio apartment and shares a wall with one other studio apartment east of it (
The apartment has a north facing doors, an inner wooden door and an outer metal screen
security door.
The initial call stated the victim was pushed and hit to the floor by the suspect. The suspect also threatened to kill
the victim with a gun but no weapons were seen. The suspect was described as a male Hispanic, 22 years old,
wearing a blue shirt and black shorts.
As I was arriving on scene, the call was updated to a felony spousal abuse with the address of
Upon arrival, I observed two male subjects crossing Atlantic Avenue and flagging me down. One of the males told
me a guy who lived in the back pushed him. I was only able to understand bits and pieces of the story due to a
language barrier.
Several units arrived as I spoke to the male subjects who were later identified as victims of battery and terrorist
threats. For further on the victims, see Officer Barth's (#5936) follow up Report.
I walked to and Officer Finch walked to to get further information
regarding the incident. As I knocked on I heard a female crying from inside one of the apartments. A
female opened the door and told me, "It's next door" as she pointed towards
I continued to hear a female crying inside of the apartment. As I walked toward I heard the
inner door open and Officer Finch say, "Open the door, come out" and I heard the inner door close. Officer Finch,
Officer Collazo and I began giving lawful orders for the subject/s inside to open the door as we continued to hear a
female crying inside. The subject/s inside refused to open the door and I heard a male say, "No!" from inside of
the apartment. We continued to tell the subject/s inside to open the door and gave a warning the door would be
kicked opened if they do not comply with out lawful orders.
The subject/s inside continued to refuse to open the door and Officer Collazo forcefully pulled the metal security
door open. Officer Collazo ordered the subject/s inside to open the door before kicking the door open. As the door
swung open, I immediately heard a male screaming. "Ahh! You broke my tooth!You can't do that! You don't have
a warrant!" When I saw the male Hispanic subject (later identified as Arrestee Brian Contreras) inside, I ordered
him to get on his stomach and crawl out to us. Contreras continued to scream as he lay on his stomach. We
continued to give him orders to crawl out to us in order to safely take him into custody. He continued to scream
and refused to come out.
Officer Finch walked inside the apartment and controlled Contreras' left arm and pulled him out of the apartment.
Contreras continued to kick and scream as Officer Finch took control of his left arm. Officer Finch then placed his
right knee and shin across Contreras' waist area to restrict his movement.I then controlled Contreras' right arm
and placed him into handcuffs. I checked the cuffs for fit and double locked them. After I placed him in handcuffs,
Officer Finch straddled both of Contreras' legs and controlled both of his hands to restrict his movement.
I noticed Contreras bleeding from his mouth as he screamed and complained about his tooth. I requested for Long
Beach Fire Department to respond at the scene to check on Contreras. LBFD Engine 11 responded on scene
and attempted to tend on Contreras' injuries. Contreras refused any medical attention.
After Contreras was safely taken into custody, I contacted the female inside of the apartment (later identified as
Victim I immediately noticed redness and swelling on her left eye and cheek area. She had
redness and scratch marks on the left side of her neck. There were also bruising that appeared to be finger marks

on her inner left and right bicep area.
She told me the following:
has been dating in a dating relationship with Contreras for approximately 3 years. During the 3 years,
they've lived together for approximately 1 year but decided to live separately. They do not have children together.
On 03/20/18, was sleeping with Contreras inside of She woke up to a loud vehicle
and the smell of vehicle fumes coming inside of the apartment. She began getting sick from the fumes and told
her Contreras who was also woken up by the loud engine. Contreras walked outside and talked to their neighbors
to ask them to turn the vehicle off. Contreras and the neighbors began arguing and yell at each other.
Not wanting any trouble, told Contreras to go back inside of his apartment. Contreras refused and began
yelling at her. She attempted to pull Contreras back inside but he continued to refuse. Contreras eventually
walked back inside as she became upset and started crying due to the whole situation.
When I asked about her injuries, she insisted they were from a severe allergic reaction from crabs she
ate the night before. She also added she bruises easily due to her being anemic. was very adamant
there was no physical abuse that caused the injuries and there were no prior history of domestic violence between
her and Contreras. She refused any medical attention.
Based on Contreras and actions and my observation of the injuries being consistent to physical abuse,
I believed physical abuse occurred between Contreras and prior to my arrival. I placed Contreras under
arrest for 273.5 PC - Felony Spousal Abuse.
It should be noted it was later determined that filed a 273.5 (a) PC report naming Contreras as the
suspect on 02/20/18. For further, see DR #
Contreras was also charged with 242 PC - Battery, 422 PC - Terrorist Threats, 594 (a)(2) PC - Vandalism;
Damage Property and 148(a)(1) PC - Resist Public Officer. For further, see Follow up Reports.
Unit 3B81 (Officer C. Najera #10999 and Officer E. Betancourt #6117) transported Contreras to 400 W. Broadway
where he was booked as charged and released to the care and custody of the men's jail staff located on the 6th
floor. For further on Contreras' statement, see Officer Najera's follow up Report.

Narrative
While working patrol as Unit 3A22, I Officer D. Collazo #5921 responded to Ave to assist, Officer E.
Domingo #10782 (Unit 3A21) who had been dispatched to a 242 - Battery, Call #L180790328.
While en-route dispatch stated a Battery had just occurred further advising the neighbor had "pushed and hit the
calling party to the floor", and threatened to kill him.
Dispatch further stated the neighbor threatened to get a gun and kill the calling party, and told the wife to get the
gun, that he was going to kill the calling party, but no gun was seen.
Prior to my arrival dispatch advised that the call had been change to a 273.5 - Felony Spousal Abuse listing the
address
When I arrived I observed Officer Domingo speaking to the calling party/victims. After speaking to the victims
Officer Domingo, myself, and Officer K. Finch #3764 (Unit 3A24) began to walk to the back of the apartment
complex via the driveway located on the north side of the property.
Officer Domingo then began to knock on the door belonging to Ave to make contact with the
subject inside. While he was attempting to make contact I heard the interior door belonging to
open. I then began to walk over to door which was secured by a metal security screen door, and as I did I could
hear the sound of female crying and gasping for air.
I observed Officer Finch also divert his attention to the door belonging to
As I walked closer to the door I heard that the crying and gasps for air were coming from ground level. I could see
the silhouette of a person, which appeared to be a Female in distress, crouched down on the floor. I could also
see what appeared to be the figure of someone standing behind her. Officer Finch removed his firearm, pointed it
at the door, and gave an order for the door to be opened.
At this time I saw the female who was crouched down appear to get pulled backed and observed the figure
standing behind her shut the door. Believing that a domestic violence assault had just occurred and was still
taking place, myself and Officer Finch began to yell to the subjects inside to open the door.
I then heard a male yell in an angry voice, "No!". I then announced it was the police, and again ordered him to
open the door. The same male's voice again yelled in an angry voice, "No! nothing is going on". At this point I
could still hear the female in the background who was now sobbing. Officer Finch then stated if the door wasn't
opened we were going to kick it.

Narrative
Because of the nature of the call an the observation that I made, I felt the exigency to check on the welfare of the
female inside the apartment. At this time I yelled to the male inside if he didn't open the door I was going to kick it
in, at which time I again heard the male yell, "No!".
I then grabbed the center vertical bar of the security door and pulled outward causing the security door to buckle,
which allowed the locking bolt to pop out of the frame.
Once the security door was open I again yelled for the interior wooden door to be opened, but the male still
refused. Fearing for the safety of the female inside, I forced the interior door open by kicking it. It should be noted
that the door did not give way on my initial kick. It was my second kick that caused the door give way.
When the interior door swung open I noticed that something behind it caused it to abruptly stop. As I pushed open
the door with my hand I observed a Male/Hispanic later identified as (Defendant) Contreras, Brian Jed standing
near a , (Victim ) who was sitting on the bed crying.
Contreras was then ordered to get into the prone position, which he did. We then began to order him crawl
outside to us so that we could safely take him into custody but he refused. Contreras just kept yelling, "My tooth,
look what you did to my tooth".
I then told Contreras if he didn't crawl out to us I was going to "taze" him, but he still refused stating, "My tooth,
you fucking knocked my tooth out". I then stated to Contreras he was going to be "tazed" and as I advanced
toward him he stated, "Okay, Okay". As I walked into the apartment I observed Contreras use his hand to pull and
slide his body towards the door, at which time Officer Finch grabbed a hold of his arm and pulled him out.
I then diverted my attention to to ascertain if she was okay. I observed red marks and scratches around
neck. I also observed redness to left eye and a scratch left shoulder. I asked
if Contreras had caused her injuries, but she just sat on the bed andstaredatmewithtearfuleyes.
I then turned my attention to Contreras who was now screaming, "My tooth, my tooth. Look what you did, you
fucking knocked my tooth out". At this time I observed Officer Finch controlling Contreras' movements. Officer
Finch was on top of Contreras straddling his lower legs and holding his hands, which were handcuffed.
Contreras was then assisted to his feet by Officer Finch and Officer Tom, B. #5895, and escorted to Officer Tom's
police vehicle where he was seated in the back seat.
Sgt. R. Ryan #6303 (Unit 3S32) responded to the scene, at which time I notified him of the forced entry and my
involvement in the incident.

As we were getting ready to knock on the address I was positioned to the right (west of the front door
standing between the two address. I was the officer closest to the suspects apartment at that time.
I then distinctly heard coming specifically from the address a female crying and moaning.
Due to the fact that a gun was mentioned in the original call I removed my service revolver from my holster and
approached the address. At gun point I ordered the suspect to open the door and exit his apartment and he
refused my verbal command. He yelled in an angry voice , "No!." Upon more verbal commands he said
"No!..Nothing is going on." I gave several more commands for him to open the door and exit his apartment and he
continued to refuse to comply with my verbal commands.
Shortly thereafter he closed the wooden door which was behind the black steel mesh security door which was
already closed.
At this time I could still hear the female crying and moaning.
I told officers Collazo and Domingo that I heard a female crying and they assisted me.
Due to the fact that I heard a female in the apartment crying and moaning and the fact that the suspect had
refused my numerous verbal commands for him to exit the apartment and his violently closing the door after my
clear verbal commands for him to exit. Also the fact that the original call had mentioned that a gun may be
involved in the crime. It was my opinion that the female subject was in imminent danger of physical violence
and/or death and constituted exigent circumstances and immediate action on my part was required to insure the
safety of the female subject (who was later identified as an additional victim
I then broadcast on the radio the address and the fact that there was a female crying and that we were going to
kick the door in.
I, along with officers Collazo and Domingo were at the front door of the apartment. I was on the right side of the
door. Officer Collazo was in the middle and officer Domingo was on the left side of the door.
I yelled to the suspect numerous times to open the door or we were going to kick the door in.
Officer Collazo prior to using the technique to open the outer security door and the inner white wooden door yelled
to the suspect again that if he didn't open the doors he was going to kick it in. The suspect again refused to open
the doors and yelled , "No."
He continually refused to open the door and exit the apartment.
Officer Collazo then used a technique to physically pull the front black security door open and he was successful.
He then used his foot to kick open the white wooden door which was behind the front security door. He was
successful after kicking the door two times.
The suspect was in the doorway area and was ordered to lay down on his stomach which he did. At this time I
holstered my service revolver and took out my electronic control device. However, from my position on the right
side of the door it was a difficult angle to deploy my electronic control device. In addition, if I had deployed the
device there was a good chance that I would have struck the suspect in the face/head area.
Once on his stomach the suspect was told to crawl to us in order for us to safely handcuff him outside of the
apartment where he would not have access to any weapons in close proximity tohim.
He continually refused to comply with the orders.
He was only saying that his toe was broken and that his tooth hurt. I could clearly see that the suspect had the
ability to crawl to us and was willfully refusing my/our commands to crawl tous.
Once I determined that the suspect was not going to comply with our orders and crawl to us. I could see both of
the suspects hands and that I would not have to travel too far to gain control of his left hand. At this time I still did

not know the condition of the victim and knew that time was of the essence to get to her to see if she needed
immediate medical treatment.
For the above reasons I made the independent decision to enter the front door area and approach the suspect. I
then quickly entered the front door area and approached the suspect and grabbed his left hand. I then quickly
pulled the suspect out to the front porch area of the apartment.
Officer Collazo then immediately went around me and made contact with the victim.
I then placed my right knee in the upper middle back area of the suspects back to control him due to his agitated
state and attempting to get up and possibly be a flight risk. Officer Domingo had control of the suspects right arm.
I then held my position while officer Domingo removed his handcuffs and handcuffed the suspect.
After being handcuffed the suspect was still agitated and attempting to get to his feet. He was continually
thrashing about (moving from side to side in a violent manner). He was yelling at the victim and saying that his
tooth hurt. I told him that paramedics were enroute to medically check him out. I repeatedly told him to remain
calm but, he continued to be agitated and yell about his injuries.
Due to the fact that the suspect was using his upper body and both of his legs to attempt to gain leverage and get
to his feet. I straddled (placed my legs over his backside midsection area)to retain my leverage and control over
him. He continued to use both of his legs to attempt to overcome my leverage and control over on him. For this
reason, I moved my right leg and placed it over the back of both of his knees while still having control of both of
his hands and torso areas. I kept both of his hands down around the bottom portion of his back in order that he
would be able to easily breath. I knew that he was able to breath by the fact that he was continually yelling at me
so loudly.
I noticed that I had blood on the outside upper forearm area of my left arm. I later cleansed the area with
anti-bacterial liquid. I saw that the skin was not broken.
I then asked assisting officer Tom to bring a patrol vehicle into the courtyard area to have it available if needed.
Control of the suspect was required not only to not allow him to get to his feet but, also make sure that medically
he did not hurt himself before the paramedics arrived. Also, I felt that if I placed him in the rear seat of the police
vehicle then upon arrival of the paramedics I would have had to bring him back out of the rear seat for the
paramedics to check him out medically.
Prior to the paramedics arrival the suspect said that he would not allow them to check him out medically. Upon
arrival of the paramedics he refused medical treatment and told the fire personnel to keep their hands off of him.
He would not even allow them to take his vital signs.
Myself and officer Tom then assisted the suspect to his feet and walked him over the patrol vehicle. I then placed
him in the rear seat of the patrol vehicle and seatbelted him in. No further force was used after this point.
Officer Domingo took photographs of myself, the suspect and the scene.
Officers Betancourt, E. # 6117 and Najera, C. #10999 eventually transported the suspect to jail.
For further refer to the main and connecting reports.
Sergeant Ryan, R. # 6303 was notified of the use of force and responded to the scene.

Narrative
On 3/20/18 at approximately 0729 hours, my partner (Officer E. Betancourt #6117) and I (Officer C. Najera
#10999) were working uniformed patrol in a marked black and white police vehicle as Unit 3B81. We assisted
Unit 3A21 (Officer E. Domingo #10782), Unit 3A20 (Officer B. Tom #5895), Unit 3A24 (Officer K. Finch #3764),
Unit 3A22 (Officer D. Collazo #5921), Unit 3A54 (Officer M. Barth #5936), Unit 3B54 (Officer W. Neal #10128 and
Officer S. Perez #10129), Unit 3B84 (Officer P. Chau #11135 and Officer A. Trujillo #6214), and Unit 3S32
(Sergeant R. Ryan #5936) at regarding a domestic violence, call #328.
Upon arrival, we were assigned the task to transport the Suspect (Arrestee, Brian Jed Contreras) to our booking
facility located at 400 W Broadway.
My partner and I moved the Suspect from Unit 3B54's vehicle to our patrol vehicle and transported him to our
booking facility.
While at our booking facility, I read the Suspect his Miranda Rights per PD Form 1000.008 to which he answered,
"Yes" to waiver question one.
I asked the Suspect what happened earlier in the day with his girlfriend and neighbors and he told me the
following:
At approximately 0630 hours, he and his girlfriend were inside their apartment sleeping when they were awoken
by the sound of a loud car and the strong odor coming from a vehicle's exhaust. The Suspect opened the door to
go outside his apartment and saw his neighbors (Victim 1 and Victim 2) standing next to the vehicle that was
releasing the strong odor from its exhaust. The Suspect advised me that the exhaust odor was going inside his
apartment, causing him and his girlfriend to get sick.
The Suspect confronted both neighbors and told them, "Turn off your car." Both neighbors refused to turn off the
vehicle. The Suspect became upset and then told them, "Move the fucken car!" A verbal dispute between the
Suspect and both neighbors ensued. Both parties began pushing and shoving each other multiple times.
The Suspect then went back inside his apartment but left the front door opened. The Suspect further advised me
that he saw Long Beach Police Officers approaching his apartment. The Suspect decided to close his apartment
door so Long Beach Police officers wouldn't go inside his apartment. The Suspect further stated he heard Long
Beach Police Officers announce themselves from outside his apartment door. The Suspect further stated that
Long Beach Police Officers were telling him to open his apartment door. I asked the Suspect why he decided to
not open his apartment door when Long Beach Police Officers asked him to and he responded, "because I know
my rights and they did not have a warrant."

I asked the Suspect if at any point during the altercation he threatened his neighbors and he responded, "No." I
asked him if he at any point he mentioned anything about a gun to his neighbors or girlfriend and he responded,
"No." I then asked the Suspect if there was a physical altercation between him and his girlfriend and he stated,
"No." No further questions were asked.
It should be noted that I observed a red line mark on the right side of the Suspect's forehead. The red mark went
down the Suspect's face to his chest area. The red mark was off centered from the Suspect's mouth.
The Suspect was booked as charged and released to the custody of the 6th floor men's jail without incident.

five times. She left a few minutes later and noticed Brian was in the back seat of a Police vehicle.

Narrative
On 03/20/18, while working uniformed patrol as Unit 3S32, I (Sergeant R. Ryan #6303) assisted units at
regarding a battery/domestic violence incident that just occurred. Prior to my arrival, Unit 3A24
(Officer K. Finch #3764) advised there was female heard crying inside the residence and they were going to have
to force entry. Officer Finch later advised via his police radio that they had one subject in custody.
Upon my arrival, I responded to the rear apartment (where I observed a male subject (later
identified as Brian Contreras) who was handcuffed and lying on the ground.Contreras was on his stomach, while
Officer Finch was straddling Contreras' legs, while holding on to his hands. Contreras was yelling and screaming
about his tooth. I observed Contreras to have a chipped tooth (upper right tooth) and a small amount of blood
near his mouth. Contreras was yelling how the officers kicked the door, which hit his tooth. Contreras appeared
to be extremely agitated and would not calm down. The Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) was requested to
medically evaluate Contreras.
As we waited for the LBFD to arrive, I attempted to speak with Contreras to get him to calm down. Contreras
continued yelling about his tooth and yelled that he wanted to get up. I explained to Contreras that he needed to
calm down before we felt comfortable standing him up and putting him in the police car. Contreras yelled that he
was not going to get in the police car and that he wanted to get up right where he was at. The decision was made
to keep Contreras in his current position until LBFD arrived, to prevent any additional incident.
LBFD arrived on scene at which point Contreras verbally refused their service. He stated he did not need the
paramedics. He stated he needed a dentist. After LBFD cleared, Contreras was placed in the backseat of a
police vehicle without further incident.
Unit 3A22 (Officer D. Collazo #5921) advised me that he forced entry into the residence at
by kicking the inner wood door. After the door was forced open, Contreras was complaining that the door hit him
in the face. For further regarding the forced entry, see Officer Collazo's follow-up report.
Office Finch advised that he handcuffed Contreras. Upon initial contact with Contreras inside the apartment,
Contreras was uncooperative and not fully compliant with the Officer's commands. At one point, while Contreras
was in the prone position, Officer Finch had to use other bodily force to move Contreras into a position where he
could safely be handcuffed. For further regarding Officer Finch's use of force, see his follow-up report.
Unit 3A54 (Officer M. Barth #5936) contacted the original calling party, who was the victim of an assault and
threats. For further regarding the original incident, see Officer Barth's report.
Unit 3A21 (Officer E. Domingo #10782) assisted Officer Finch in handcuffing Contreras. Officer Domingo later

Unit 3B81 (Officer E. Betancourt #6117 and Officer C. Nejara #10999) transported Contreras to the downtown
station for booking. For further regarding their contact with Contreras,see their follow-up report.
Prior to Contreras being transported to jail, I spoke with him regarding the incident. I advised Contreras of his
Miranda Rights, per PD Form 1000.008, to which he replied, "Yes" when asked if he understood his rights. My
interview with Contreras was audio recorded and the audio file was later placed into Mideo.
Contreras advised the incident started because of the neighbor's car that was backed up to his door and was
running for hours, causing the gasoline smell in his apartment. Contreras stated he got into a dispute with the
neighbors about the vehicle and that his girlfriend ( was trying to calm him down. Contreras stated he
was asking the neighbors to move the car several times and they told him to contact the owner. Contreras stated
he was "screaming" at them to move the car but stated he never touched them. Contreras continued talking about
the car and how they had it on for so long, but stated it doesn't work.
I asked Contreras what happened after the dispute with the neighbors and he stated, "The cops came with guns
pointed at my door." He then stated, "I don't know if they were cops. I'm traumatized." I questioned Contreras
about how he didn't know it was the police and he stated, "I don't know. The door is black. I closed the door." I
confirmed with Contreras that he can't see through the door and he stated, "I can't see. It was darker a little bit
earlier and I closed the door." I asked Contreras if he heard them say "Police". Contreras was talking over my
questions and said he didn't know why the police were there because he didn't do anything wrong.
Contreras continued to say that he didn't know the police were there. Contreras said he only saw "guns" coming
towards him, so he closed the door. I questioned Contreras about seeing the "guns" but not seeing the police.
Contreras stated, "I closed the door as soon as I seen it." I asked what he saw and he stated, "The guns coming
towards me." I asked Contreras how many guns he had seen and he replied, "I seen one. One person."
Contreras stated he had seen one person with a gun coming towards him so he closed the door. Contreras could
not elaborate any further regarding the person with the gun.
I asked Contreras what happened after he shut the door and he stated, "I'm done talking." Contreras started
talking about the gasoline incident and then I told him I wanted to talk to him about what happened after he closed
the door. Contreras stated, "I closed the door because the cops came at me with a gun. Contreras went on to
say that he was only worried about getting arrested because he has a clean record and that he didn't care about
his tooth or the door.
During my interview with Contreras, I observed him to have a scratch on his right cheek area, approximately 1 to
1-1/2 inch in length. Contreras also had a scratch on his upper right chest area. It is unknown when or how
Contreras received those injuries.
I observed to have a north facing door, with an outer metal mesh security screen door that opens
outward and an inner wood door that opens inward (left to right). There appeared to be no damage to the outer
metal screen door. I observed the wood door jamb to be split with a piece of wood broken off. I observed the
door to have a split in the wood near the deadbolt lock.
Officer Domingo took photographs of the incident location and all involved parties. The photographs were later
uploaded to Mideo.

is a parking lot. In the lot was a parked vehicle that had not been used for a while. Yesterday, he awoke to the
smoke from the vehicles exhaust blowing directly into his apartment. He stated he had left his front door open, so
the odor of gasoline was very strong.
His girlfriend (VIC asked him to go outside and talk to the neighbors about the smoke. DEFT
Contreras became very upset, he went outside and confronted the neighbors (identified as VIC and
VIC During the confrontation, DEFT Contreras alleges he said "You guys are going to fucken kill
me". He explained that was the only time the word "Kill" came out of his mouth.
Also during the confrontation, both neighbors got close to his face and asked him to calm down. DEFT Contreras
refused to calm down and pushed both individuals away from him. DEFT Contreras denied anyone fell from the
push but he did recall that one of the victims/ neighbor attempted to record him with a cell phone. DEFT Contreras
did not recall whether the cell phone fell and broke.
DEFT Contreras believes that the neighbors are merely jealous of him because DEFT Contreras is a "worker".
DEFT Contreras stated that during the argument, one of the victims told him to call the owner (referring to the
apartment complex owner). This comment really upset DEFT Contreras because the issue was the vehicle and
the owner should not have been called.
DEFT Contreras admitted he has anger problems and needs anger management.According to him, the victims
took advantage of his situation. DEFT Contreras believes his aggression was perceived as a threat.
During the confrontation, VIC attempted to calm him down. She started to cry because according to the
defendant, VIC is very familiar of his anger issues and she knows he could "snap". During the
confrontation with the neighbors, attempted to pull him away and DEFT Contreras became even more
upset. He stated he pulled the victim away using both hands (bear hug), picked her up and moved her over to the
left side of his body.
The neighbors then ran off and moved the car.
DEFT Contreras and VIC went back into his studio apartment. VIC was still crying. DEFT
Contreras admitted he knew it was a cop approaching his door but DEFT Contreras knew his rights and knew that
the cop could not enter his home so he closed the door. Officers then kicked the door while DEFT Contreras was
standing directly behind the door causing the door to collide into his mouth. DEFT Contreras then lost a tooth.
The night prior, DEFT Contreras had been partying and smoking meth so waking up to the smoke and his
girlfriend complaining was upsetting to him.
Summary of Incident
DEFT Contreras told me he recalled the argument on 02/20/18 but denied a physical altercation occurred
between him and VIC He stated he left her in his studio apartment after the argument.
DEFT Contreras stated he did not receive the contact letter I mailed on 03/09/18.
I showed DEFT Contreras photos of the victim's injuries and he explained they have rough sex and due to her
anemia she will bruise easily. As for the injuries to her face (both incidents) the victim is allergic to makeup. DEFT
Contreras stated that the injury to the victim's neck was a hickey and not a bruise.
I took additional photos of the defendant and uploaded them on Mideo. I recorded the interview (see attached
CD-R).
I called VIC and left a voice message at approximately 0910 hours.I then called building owner
and he told me video surveillance was unavailable. He said he only has phony cameras installed.
At approximately 0920 hours, I spoke with VIC . He provide me with an estimate of the damage to
not only one cell phone but two cell phones that were damaged by the defendant during the incident (total
$500.00). Furthermore the defendant kicked the vehicle and caused a dent (approximately $300.00).
