Capt. Maximo Vazquez had been arrested last year after he was accused of attacking a colleague in June and calling 911 to report his wife had vanished. <\/p>\n

Miami-Dade corrections booked Vazquez, 43, shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. <\/p>\n

Vazquez, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, walked out of his home \u201cwith a hammer,\u201d approached his wife, who was in a parked 2026 dark gray Tesla sedan, and \u201cthreatened\u201d to smash all of the windows, according to a deputy\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n

Vazquez placed several metal screws under the car\u2019s tires, and when his wife got out of the car, he \u201cgrabbed\u201d and \u201ctwisted her wrists, took her cell phones, and disabled the car\u2019s start-up mechanism, according to the deputy\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n

Vazquez \u201ccontinued drinking alcohol inside the residence, aggressively grabbed both of her arms, placed them against her chest, and pushed her … began to slap her in the face … butt headed [her], and proceeded to strike [her] in the head with his personal cellular phone … proceeded to rip-off [her] clothing … grabbed her by the hair,\u201d a deputy wrote, according to the arrest report. <\/p>\n

Someone called 911 anonymously, and when deputies responded to the house, the woman denied the domestic violence and said she did not need help, according to a deputy\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n
