Police Blotter: Deputies Arrest Woman After Violent Argument

Early Tuesday morning, a man was in the garage of his Rancho Santa Margarita apartment when he heard a car pull up nearby. A few minutes later, he heard a door being kicked in at an apartment above the garage. A violent argument then began between a man and a screaming woman, according to the informant.

The informant came out of his garage and noticed a girl lying in front of the apartment where the fight was raging. A distraught man came out of the unit to grab the woman, yelling "Help me!"

About five minutes later, another informant from the Avila apartment complex called the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, claiming to have heard an argument between a man and a woman that had been going on for more than 45 minutes. The caller noted that a man was screaming for help.

Deputies arrived and arrested the woman, a 19-year-old receptionist who was released after posting bond from the Intake Release Center.

The call came in around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, from the 22700 block of El Prado.
