Police responded to a disturbance in the 2800 block of Ridgeland. They found a 21-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman. The man’s story is that they fought over a call the woman received on her cell phone. The man confronted her. She denied recognizing the number of the caller. The man then threw the cell phone, breaking it. He tried to leave, but police came before he had the chance. But when police took the woman aside, she confirmed the cell phone stuff but added the man also grabbed and threw her down, kicked her in the ribs and punched her in the head. She scratched his neck in self-defense. After this, the woman told him to leave and began throwing his things out onto the lawn until police arrived. The woman’s injuries were photographed and she was treated at MacNeal Hospital. The man was charged with one count of domestic battery.
