28-year-old Tamia Watkins had a domestic altercation with her ex-boyfriend, Aaron Maurice Valdez, at Comfort Inn & Suites on Collins Park Drive late September 1st. Valdez told responding officers he had come to see his kids for the weekend. He explained that Watkins was going back and forth with him regarding whether he could keep the kids another night. Valdez said it started as a verbal dispute outside the parking lot, but Watkins told him, “You do not know me. I will hit you!” Watkins then made a motion as if she were going to hit him. Then, Valdez added that she proceeded to say, “I will kill you,” placing him in fear for his life.
Valdez informed officers that he and Watkins do not have a custodial agreement. The police spoke with Valdez’s girlfriend, Linda Orozco, who stated she had not heard anything since she was inside.

The police report stated that Watkins hit Valdez, and during the scuffle, she struck their son in the mouth. Watkins was taken into custody for domestic assault on September 2nd.
