CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio —

Domestic Violence: Monticello Boulevard

On June 28 at 7:10 p.m., police were called to a home by an angry woman who reported that a woman had “jumped on an elderly person.”

At the scene, police spoke to the victim, a woman who reported that her pills had disappeared from her bedroom and confronted her niece about the possible theft.

The two argued and the niece left the house to calm down. When the niece returned, the argument started again and the niece hit her aunt on the head two or three times. Police discovered a bump on the older woman’s forehead.

The niece, who lives with her aunt, told police she was tired of being suspected of theft and had not taken the pills, although she admitted she had taken food in the past.

The suspect’s other aunt witnessed the incident and confirmed the victim’s story.

Police have been called to the home in the past to address the suspect’s anger management issues, and on June 25, they were also called to her boyfriend’s home because she was trying to fight with him.

According to her relatives, the suspect had threatened to kill everyone living in the house in the past.

Police arrested the niece for domestic violence and assault. The aunt was also granted a restraining order against her niece.

On June 27 at 5:20 a.m., a resident called police because he heard a man and a woman arguing and physically fighting at a neighbor’s house. When police arrived, they found an intoxicated woman who had given birth a week earlier.

The angry woman had a cut on her face and believed she was bleeding from a cut from the Caesarean section. The police had the woman taken to the hospital.

The man, who lives with the woman and is the father of her two children, told police that he and the woman had not been on good terms the day before and that when he returned home from meeting friends that evening, he preferred to sleep on the couch in the living room rather than in the couple’s bedroom.

He said the woman woke him up by sitting on him and hitting him.

He had injuries on his body and bloody clothes. The couple’s newborn was sleeping about a meter away from the scene but was unharmed.

The woman in the hospital claimed the man attacked her, but she did not suffer any injuries consistent with her statement. She also claimed she called the police, but an officer told her they knew a neighbor had made the call.

Against the man’s will, the police charged the woman with domestic violence, assault and endangering a child.
