According to a Sheriff’s report, deputies were called to the 58700 block of DelanoTrail about 4:30 p.m. Thursday. The woman told deputies she was lying on the couch when Jose Avila, 38, came in, said “It must be nice to take a nap,” then grabbed her by the arm and leg and pulled her off the couch. The two started fighting, and the woman threw a chair. She said he then pulled her to the ground by her hair.
