Police responded to the Wooster Road apartment at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday on a possible domestic violence call from a neighbor. The man opened door and his girlfriend was in the bedroom getting dressed. The man told police that he returned from work at 7:30 p.m. with a 12-pack of beer that he and his girlfriend shared over the course of the evening. As they became intoxicated, they argued about the woman not liking living in Ohio.

The man eventually went to bed and about an hour later woke up to his girlfriend scratching his face and pulling his hair. They started to argue about the woman wanting to return to California, and she again scratched him on his stomach and the man tried to defend himself.

Police arrested the 23-year-old woman for domestic violence. She is in jail waiting to see the judge. There was a 6-month-old infant in the bedroom at the time of the incident, and because the man was drinking, his parents were called to watch the baby.
