Lisa C. Nunoz, 47, of Gamerco is facing charges for aggravated battery against a household member after getting into a domestic dispute with her boyfriend.

McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Anthony Morales said he was dispatched to Ray Avenue in Gamerco around 7 pm March 13 in connection to a domestic dispute. When he got there, he found Clifford McAdams, 45, of Gamerco outside the building picking up items on the ground.

McAdams told Morales he and Nunoz had gotten in an argument after she claimed he was messing around on her using the Facebook messenger app. As he was attempting to leave, McAdams said Nunoz maced him, threw coffee in his face, hit his right arm with a fire place poker, and cut up his suitcase with a knife or box cutter.

Morales observed injuries on McAdams that went along with his report.

He then went inside and talked to Nunoz, who said the two began arguing about one of her friends. She said she had told McAdams to leave, and when he refused, she attempted to spray him with mace but nothing came out. She said McAdams then threw her against the wall, and then down on the ground.

Morales had trouble breathing because of the presence of mace in the room, according to his report. He also said he saw no injuries on Nunoz or any indication in the house that there had been a struggle. Nunoz also said she grabbed the poker to defend herself against McAdams.

With all of the evidence pointing against Nunoz, she was arrested. Once she realized she was being arrested, Morales said, Nunoz started screaming and yelling and demanding that they wait until state police arrived.

Morales refused to wait, and as Nunoz was being transported to jail, she continued to yell and said she needed to be taken to the hospital because she had a headache. Morales instead took her to the McKinley County Adult Detention Center where she was seen by medical staff and given a medical clearance.
