Marcia Sangronis, 38 years old and an officer of the North Bay Village Police Department, was arrested on Tuesday by the Hialeah Police, accused of physically assaulting her boyfriend when he attempted to end their relationship and leave her residence, located in the west of that city.
So far, there has been no public confirmation of Sangronis's nationality or country of origin.
According to the arrest report cited by Local 10, the couple had been in a relationship for about two years and had spent the night at Sangronis' residence. Around 11 in the morning, the man gathered his belongings and informed her that he wanted to end the relationship.
It was at that moment when, according to the report, Sangronis stood in front of the door and said: “You can't leave”.
When the man tried to reach the door, the officer allegedly began attacking him.
“The victim said that she scratched him several times on the arms, face, and back. The victim also stated that she bit him several times on the left forearm,” reports the Hialeah Police.
The agents documented and photographed three bite marks on the man's left arm; one of them broke the skin.
The boyfriend also stated that it was not the first time he had suffered such assaults.
“He said he managed to break free from (Sangronis) and leave the house. He also mentioned that (she) has physically and emotionally abused him during the two years they have been together,” the report states.
Once outside, the man reported the incident to the Hialeah Police.
Sangronis later went to the police station to give a statement and was arrested and taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK), in western Miami-Dade County.
The reports of violence made by his/her partner
The report also outlines the circumstances of the previous assaults reported by the man.
According to her statement, Sangronis would become "furious and violent" every time they discussed "her lack of motivation to advance in the police force."
That same issue had come up the night before the incident and resurfaced the next morning, triggering the discussion that ended in the arrest.
The statement that Sangronis provided to the police is redacted in the report, so his version is not publicly available. His lawyer also made no comments.
A witness describes a different scene
In the neighborhood, the news surprised those who knew the couple.
However, a neighbor who preferred not to be identified provided a different account of what she witnessed outside the residence, as reported by Telemundo 51.
"I saw that it was the man who was stopping her from leaving. She was telling him that she was going to call the police, and he was saying no, that she should promise not to call the police," stated the witness.
The neighbor's testimony pertains to what happened outside the residence and offers a different perspective on the couple's behavior.
However, it does not allow us to determine what happened previously inside the house, where the complainant claims to have suffered the assaults.
The judge found probable cause for simple assault and set bail at $1,000
This Wednesday, during his appearance, Sangronis initially faced a charge of aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, a second-degree felony in Florida.
However, the judge found probable cause only for simple assault, a misdemeanor, and set a bail of 1,000 dollars.
This judicial determination does not constitute an acquittal nor does it necessarily imply a definitive modification of the charges, but rather corresponds to the initial assessment of probable cause made by the judge.
She was also ordered to stay away from the alleged victim and not to have any contact with her, either directly or through third parties.
Sangronis was referred to a pretrial supervision program, which allows for supervised release under certain conditions.
The department suspended her with pay
The North Bay Village Police Department confirmed the arrest and announced that Sangronis was relieved of her duties with pay.
"The department expects the highest standards of conduct from all its personnel and holds them fully accountable for their actions, both on and off duty," the statement emphasizes.
According to records cited by NBC Miami, Sangronis took the oath as an agent in 2025 and was in a probationary period at the time of the arrest.
This case adds to a series of incidents of domestic violence involving officers in the Miami-Dade area, including the arrest in June 2025 of a county Sheriff's Office officer, accused of kidnapping and assaulting his fiancée.
