You may remember me blogging about a records request I submitted to El Monte a few weeks ago. It was for the police report detailing Mayor Ernie Gutierrez’ arrest last month.

Well, I didn’t quite receive the report, but I did receive a report with limited details about that night.

Here’s a narrative provided to me:

The Suspect and Victim have a dating relationship. A week after the incident occurred, Suspect and Victim report the Suspect assaulted the Victim and that she in turn assaulted the Suspect.

A uniformed officer officially interviewed the Victim and the Victim changed her statement regarding the incident, stating she fell down.  The Suspect was arrested at his home in El Monte and the case was presented to the District Attorney’s Office after completion of the investigation.

Gutierrez’ wife has said on the record before that she was not the alleged assault victim that night.
