Argument over weighing scale allegedly leads to the beating of pregnant woman

Posted on Jul 11 2018

An argument over a weighing scale allegedly led to a man’s beating of his relative who is two months pregnant at a residence in As Lito last week.

The pregnant woman had slight swelling and bruising above her left eyebrow, police said.

Victor Hocog Aldan, 39, was arrested and taken before the Superior Court yesterday on charges of assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.

Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo imposed a $5,000 cash bail on Aldan and set the preliminary hearing for July 16 at 1:30pm.

According to police detective Rose T. Rios, three police officers responded to a disturbance complaint in As Lito last Thursday afternoon.

Rios stated in his report that an eyewitness reported that Aldan and another relative confronted the alleged victim about a weighing scale.

The confrontation escalated into an argument. Aldan then allegedly pushed the victim on the chest and punched her on the left eyebrow and temple area.

The victim then called the police.
