A man allegedly choked and repeatedly punched his neighbor over a clogged drainage in their shower room in central Garapan on Saturday afternoon.
The victim sustained bruises and dried blood under the left eye. He suffered bruises on the forehead and under the right eye, police said.
Mohammad Parvez Barpery, 46, an employee of a recycling center, was arrested for assault and battery and disturbing the peace. His bail was set at $5,000 cash; preliminary hearing is on Oct. 12 at 9am.
Assistant public defender Cindy Nesbit was appointed as counsel for the defendant. Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda appeared for the government.
Police detective John Anthony Hofschneider stated in his report that two police officers were dispatched to a residence in central Garapan on Saturday afternoon after the victim called for police’s help.
Barpery allegedly strangled the victim then punched him many times in the face. Barpery only stopped the beating when his wife and brother-in-law pacified him.
The victim locked his bedroom and called the police. Two officers arrived and arrested the suspect.
In May 2014, a Superior Court jury acquitted Barpery of charges that he raped a 17-year-old girl in front of his girlfriend inside a motel in San Jose in 2013.
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho, who presided over the trial and decided on the misdemeanor charge, also found Barpery not guilty of disturbing the peace.
