27-year-old Cristian Cortes was seen vandalizing his girlfriend, Doraluz Hernandez’s vehicle, while at a Fern Avenue residence on August 10th. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Hernandez, who claimed that Cortes had broken her right side mirror and cracked her windshield. Hernandez explained to officers that Cortes had woken up earlier in the day and began drinking. However, he was put to sleep by friends because he was intoxicated and began acting aggressively. Hernandez informed officers that later that day, while she was on Broadway, Cortes began sending her threatening messages.
Officers were shown texts where Cortes stated that he was getting back with his ex-girlfriend and another text saying that she should kill herself. Officers also saw that he had sent Hernandez photos of her car with the damage done to it. Officers then spoke with Cortes, who arrived on the scene. Cortes admitted to breaking the mirror on her vehicle because he was angry, and they were arguing. When asked about the windshield, he denied destroying it, claiming he did not remember. Officers then determined Cortes to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for vandalism.
Cristian Oliver Cortes of Wilderness Road in Pelham, AL, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 10th, charged with vandalism. He is free on a $1,000 bond.
