Police in Emeryville, California, cited and released Nima Momeni on a misdemeanor battery charge after a woman reported he attacked her, the newspaper reported, citing documents obtained in a public records request. The records did not identify the woman, the paper said. The Alameda County District Attorney’s office confirmed to CNN it did not file charges but declined to say why or give more detail.
Momeni was taken to the San Francisco County jail last week, where he was booked on one charge of murder. In the earlier incident, an unnamed woman called police around 3:11 p.m. on August 1, 2022, saying she was attacked at Momeni’s loft in Emeryville, according to the report obtained by the Chronicle. Dispatch records show she told police Momeni “grabbed her arm & pulled it, pushed her physically,” the paper reported.
