family disturbance at the location of 7943 XXXXX Ave in Las Vegas. Details of the call stated original
person reporting Zhang, Xiaofeng claimed negative any battery occurred and second person reporting, Zhao XXXX claimed battery did occur.
Officer XXX made contact with original person Zhang, Xiaafeng and she stated the fof/owing occurring: Zhang stated the reasons she called the police was because her daughter, Zhao XXXX had received funds from her insurance claim from a fire that took place at Zhang's home. Zhang stated she asked Zhao for the money to which Zhao replied that she was not going to give Zhang the money back. Zhang stated that she never got physical with Zhao because she knew that if she were to put hands-on Zhao that she
would go to jail for domestic battery like she had in the past.
Officer XXXX spoke w;th Zhao, and she alleged the following offered: Zhao alleged that she was "dead asleep" in her bedroom when her mother Zhang walked in and began yelling at her about an insurance claim. As Zhao was in her bed, she alleged that Zhang began to "push me on my face." Officers
questioned Zhao as to haw Zhang was pushing her on her face and Zhao could not give an explanation,
all she could say was that whatever mark she had on her, must have come from her mother pushing her. Officers did observe some reddening on Zhao's face at the corner of her eyes, as well as some scratches on the tip of her nose which looked like she could have scratched herself on a wall. When speaking with Zhao, her story was inconsistent, and she does not give specific details to what had occurred in her room. Due the fact Xiaofeng Zhang used unlawful force and violence (pushing} upon the person of another, she was arrested for domestic battery.
DA denial resulted in case being dropped. No charges, fines or fees resulted in the case. Denial letter
attached.
