Genesis told officers she and her husband argued and he threatened to kill her before she called 911, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Channel 2 Action News.
According to court documents, Genesis told investigators she was taking a shower when her husband entered the bathroom and took both of her cellphones and refused to give them back.
Genesis told police that she was afraid for her life due to his “aggressive behavior and being physically abusive towards her in the past,” court documents stated.

Officers, a release said, then "witnessed the suspect grabbing the victim by the neck and throwing her against a wall...In addition to the strangulation attempts, the suspect also struck the victim with his arm which had a cast from a previous injury."
