Man allegedly throws tire at girlfriend in a fit of anger

A man was arrested on Tinian for allegedly throwing a spare tire at his girlfriend in a fit of anger while he was under the influence of alcohol.

Brandon Mundo Aldan, 21, was arrested last Saturday on Tinian for allegedly throwing a spare tire at his girlfriend who was sitting inside her vehicle and for choking, slapping, and punching her.

Aldan is facing charges of assault and battery, criminal mischief, and strangulation. He could face up to over six years in prison.

Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho kept the $15,000 cash bail for Aldan.

Aldan’s court-appointed lawyer, Joey Patrick San Nicolas, intends to submit a request to modify the bail amount.

Aldan is set for a preliminary hearing on March 20 at 9am and an arraignment on April 1 at 9am.

Aldan was arrested at his home on Tinian.

According to court information, the victim contacted Department of Public Safety on March 9 at about 10:14pm, requesting police assistance because her boyfriend, Aldan, was allegedly beating her.

At the scene, officers noticed that the victim had a slight swelling on her face and damage to the vehicle she was in.

The victim told police that she and Aldan had attended a family party prior to the incident. She said Aldan got drunk at the party and tried to pick a fight with everyone at the party, even his own brother.

As the victim and Aldan were leaving, she said that they offered Aldan’s brother and his girlfriend a ride but, during the ride, Aldan and his brother got into an argument, to the point where Aldan allegedly chased his brother and his girlfriend out of the car and told them to walk home.

The victim said that, after the argument, she pulled over at the Natibu Park to talk with Aldan and she told him that she did not want to go home with him when he is angry.

Aldan began to argue with the victim and she told him to get out of the car.

Aldan then allegedly slapped the victim and punched her before exiting. Aldan then walked over to the passenger side and allegedly choked the victim.

After that, Aldan allegedly took a spare tire from behind the car and threw it at the windshield of the vehicle. Aldan also took a pipe from behind the car and continued to hit the victim’s vehicle.

Aldan ran away after the victim called the police but he was later traced back to his residence where he was arrested.
