A police officer sprayed pepper mace at a man who allegedly just beat up his wife and threatened her with a machete at their residence in San Vicente last Wednesday.
Rhiner Aguon Tiberke, 36, was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon, resisting arrest, assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and criminal mischief.
Tiberke was set to be taken to the Superior Court yesterday afternoon for a bail hearing. A $50,000 cash bail was initially imposed for the defendant’s temporary release.
Detective Catherine B. Pangelinan stated in her report that that Wednesday at 9pm, two police officers responded to San Vicente after receiving a call about a domestic violence incident.
Pangelinan said when the officers arrived at the house, they observed Tiberke chasing his wife, who was carrying an infant and running towards the main road.
Tiberke stopped when he saw the police vehicle. The wife then told the police officer that Tiberke assaulted her and threatened to kill her with a machete.
When the two officers approached Tiberke, the defendant repeatedly shouted at them to get out from his property as it was his problem with his wife.
Tiberke allegedly refused to be arrested, was belligerent and combative as the struggled with the officers.
At this juncture, one officer sprayed pepper mace, causing the suspect to calm down.
Prior to the incident, the couple had an argument. Tiberke then allegedly pulled the victim’s hair and slapped her once on the face.
The victim got out of the house to call her family member, but the defendant grabbed a machete and pointed it toward her.
The wife was scared as she was carrying their baby. She called the police.
The defendant started breaking things in the house and hitting their car with the machete. When a police car arrived, the victim ran down with her baby.
