According to police, they also received a complaint about Manni’s Jeep. A motorist told them that it was blocking traffic. Police noted that it was parked in the middle of the Trio lot behind the station, as if Manni had left it hastily.

Police said Manni claimed that the victim threw her phone and other things at him. However, he did admit that he followed her to her home and to police headquarters despite her requests not to. He told police that they had fought through the entirety of their relationship, and that he was moving to Texas soon.

Based on the evidence at the victim’s home and their respective statements, police arrested Manni and charged him with domestic vandalism, domestic disorderly conduct and domestic refusal to relinquish a telephone. He was arraigned and released later that night, and issued a no-contact order between himself and the victim.
