MDR answered the apartment door and was asked to step into the hallway. When asked where the suspect was, MDR said he was on the balcony. MDR said he (later identified as EDGAR DARIO DELGADO VAZQUEZ, [DOB redacted]) was drunk, had been drinking all day, and was possibly using drugs.
MDR handed the officer a folded dollar bill with white powder that she said she found in DELGADO VAZQUEZ’s wallet. MDR said DELGADO VAZQUEZ threw her on the couch, and choked on Friday and today.

He has been drinking, getting mad at everything, and they have been fighting all weekend. On Friday night (August 10th), she went home tired from work. She works two jobs.
