A Mishawaka man was stabbed at a hotel and is now facing serious charges related to domestic violence
Police showed up around 2:30 a.m. after getting a call about the stabbing. They found DiCaprio with blood on his hoodie. He claimed it was just a verbal spat, but things were clearly more serious.
When officers knocked on the hotel room door, a child answered, saying her mom was hurt. They found the woman later, and she looked scared. She told the cops that DiCaprio had hit and strangled her, and she stabbed him out of fear for her life.
After being taken to the hospital, she told a nurse that DiCaprio had punched her and dragged her by her hair. DiCaprio, on the other hand, downplayed the whole thing, saying it was just a little argument. He admitted to some physical stuff but claimed it was all in self-defense.
Now, DiCaprio is facing five charges, including domestic battery and strangulation. The prosecutor’s office is pushing for no pre-trial release due to his past convictions. This situation is pretty serious, and it highlights the dangers of domestic violence.
