27-year-old Zuleyma Marrero-Rodriguez was involved in a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Raul Varela-Soto, at The Still I & II apartment complex on June 18th. When officers arrived, they found Rodriguez and Soto standing outside their apartment. Officers observed Rodriguez crying and that she had sustained visible cuts on her fingers and face. Officers spoke with Rodriguez, who explained that she and Soto argued over the keys to their truck. When Soto refused to give her the keys, she struck him on his arm and leg. Rodriguez told officers that Soto struck her back in the face after she hit him. Officers later spoke with Soto, who said he and Rodriguez argued over the keys, but nothing physical happened. When officers asked about the bruise on his arm and the mark on his face, Soto stated that he bumped into a door on the way out of his apartment. When officers asked Soto how Rodriguez sustained a cut on her finger, he claimed that Rodriguez had been throwing things in the apartment. Based on the injuries observed and the statements made by both parties, officers determined Rodriguez to be the primary aggressor, and she was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Zuleyma Enid Marrero-Rodriguez of Cabot Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 18th, charged with domestic assault. She is free on a $1,000 bond.
