A Ports Police staff was arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend and tried to hit her with a folding beach chair during their argument at her house in Navy Hill on Wednesday night.
Peter Eugene Borja, 36, was arrested for assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and criminal mischief.
The victim complained of pain in the middle of her back and neck.
At Friday’s hearing, Superior Court associate judge David A. Wiseman imposed a $150 cash bail for Borja’s temporary release.
Detective Peter A. Aldan stated in his report that investigation showed that Borja started drinking at 8am and went to sleep with his girlfriend at 6:30pm.
At 7pm the girlfriend tried to wake up Borja as his mother was calling him on his cellphone. The defendant refused to wake up. Later Borja’s phone rang again and when the girlfriend answered no one spoke.
The girlfriend recognized the phone number as of Borja’s former girlfriend.
The girlfriend confronted Borja about the ex-girlfriend, triggering their argument. She then told him to leave her house.
As the girlfriend was walking out from the bedroom, Borja allegedly choked her and told her he was not cheating on her.
The girlfriend called the police using Borja’s cellphone. He then went upstairs and banged the bedroom of his girlfriend’s two daughters. The daughters cried.
The defendant grabbed a folding beach chair and allegedly swung it at her but she was not hit. The folding chair instead smashed a hole in the bedroom’s window.
As Borja was backing out his car to leave he went down and walked toward his girlfriend, who was outside waiting for the police, and allegedly punched her in the back.
Police officers arrived and arrested Borja.
