Arrest of Jean Paul Pineda following assault complaint at motel in San Bernardo
Former professional footballer Jean Paul Pineda was detained on Sunday by Carabineros after his ex-partner filed a complaint alleging assault at a motel in San Bernardo, Metropolitan Region, according to laconexion.cl. The incident reportedly occurred around midday while both were in a room at the establishment.
Motel staff heard screams from the room and went to the scene, but the accused allegedly left the premises before they could intervene. The complainant subsequently went to the 14th Police Station in San Bernardo to file the complaint and was referred for medical examination to document injuries.
Police officers located and arrested Pineda at approximately 17:00 on the same Sunday. He was taken to the police station and placed at the disposal of the Western Metropolitan Public Prosecutor's Office.
The former athlete faces charges of minor injuries and contempt, given that he allegedly had a restraining order in effect against the complainant at the time of the incident.
On Monday, Pineda is expected to be brought before the San Bernardo Guarantee Court for a detention control hearing and formalisation. The Public Prosecutor's Office could request precautionary measures, without ruling out preventive detention.
