ID: Domestic Defense, Ruben Hernandez Shot at, Missed, Arrested for Aggravated Battery

Police reports show around 1 a.m., an Idaho Falls Police officer was called to investigate an anonymous 911 regarding a disturbance at a home near Vernon Avenue and Wheeler street, according to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by EastIdahoNews.com.

Investigators found a man sitting outside of the house bleeding from his face. The man said his friend, 30-year-old Ruben Hernandez, had kicked in his door and attacked him as a result of a domestic dispute.

He told officers that Hernandez showed up at the home banging on the door after exchanging text messages with him. Ultimately Hernandez forced open the door, busting the frame, police said.

That’s when the victim, who was armed with a rifle, shot at Hernandez but did not hit him.

The victim said the shot did not scare Hernandez away and he continued to charge at him, punching the victim multiple times in the face and head, according to court documents.
