Miami man with Cuban roots arrested for allegedly assaulting ex-girlfriend – Cuban headlines

Doniel Perez PachecoCuban living in Hialeah, Miami-Dadewas taken into custody this week on charges of assault with a deadly weapon after an alleged knife attack on his ex-girlfriend. Perez, 30, was taken into custody by authorities last Tuesday and appeared in court shortly after. He faces charges of aggravated assault with a weapon, along with three additional charges: robbery by force, damage to property and burglary, according to court documents.

History of violence during a brief relationship

The short-lived relationship, lasting just three months, between the Cuban national and the victim was reportedly marred by physical violence stemming from financial disputes. Mike Vegaa Miami police spokesperson told AmericaTeVé that the initial confrontation took place in August when the accused began threatening his girlfriend. “He grabbed her phone while she was recording it, threw it, broke it, then brandished a knife, and when she tried to defend herself, he cut her finger,” Vega explained.

Escalation and arrest

A few days later, as detailed in the police report, the victim demanded that Perez return the keys to the house and take her belongings, leading to another altercation. During that encounter, the woman claims he hit her on the head before leaving the premises. Last Tuesday, Miami police detained Perez for questioning, but he refused to make a statement.

Court proceedings and bail conditions

The police spokesman stressed: “This is another case of domestic violence where we urge victims to contact the police immediately if they experience domestic problems… there is support available for victims.” During the hearing Judge Mindy Glazer in Miami-Dade Criminal Court set bail at $9,000 for Perez and ordered him to refrain from contact with the victim, identified in court as Amanda Kobas.

The defense attorney revealed in court that Perez works with his brother in pool repair and has no criminal record, despite previous arrests. Court documents reveal previous arrests by El Doral, Miami-Dade and Miami city police for crimes including drunken driving, drug possession and possession of a firearm, Vega noted.
