Cuban from Miami arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.

Doniell Pérez Pacheco, a Cuban resident in Hialeah, Miami-Dade, was arrested this week and is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly striking and attacking his ex-girlfriend with a knife.

Pérez, 30 years old, was arrested by the police last Tuesday and appeared in court the day before, facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and three additional charges: burglary with force, property damage, and unlawful entry, according to court reports.

The Cuban and the victim were in a relationship for three months, during which there were incidents of physical violence related to money.

Mike Vega, spokesperson for the Miami police, told AmericaTeVé that the first altercation between them occurred last August, when the accused began threatening his girlfriend.

"At that point, he grabs the phone because she was recording him, throws it down, and breaks it; then he grabs a knife, goes towards her, she tries to defend herself, and he cuts her on a finger," Vega detailed.

According to the police report, a few days later, the victim asked Pérez to return the house keys and collect her belongings, which led them to meet again at the residence. There, another fight broke out, during which - as the woman reported - he hit her on the head and then left.

This Tuesday, the Miami police detained the Cuban for questioning, but he refused to make any statements.

The police spokesperson emphasized that "this is another case of domestic violence where we tell victims that if they have a domestic problem, they should call the police immediately... there is help available for victims."

Judge Mindy Glazer of the Miami-Dade criminal court set a bail of $9,000 for Pérez and ordered him to stay away from the victim, identified in the hearing as Amanda Cobas.

The defendant's attorney stated in court that his client works with his brother in pool repair and does not have a criminal record, although he has been arrested before.

Judicial documents indicate previous arrests of Pérez by the police of El Doral, Miami-Dade, and the city of Miami, for driving under the influence of alcohol, drug possession, and carrying a firearm, Vega specified.
