According to an arrest report, the victim said she'd found a small dog in front of her home that she knew belonged to Diago and went to his trailer.
She said he pushed her to the ground and started yelling at her for no reason, then started punching her in the face and all over her body, the report said.
He also dragged her by her hair and pushed her face against the concrete, and told her he was going to kill her, the report said.

At one point, Diago picked up a rock and tried to hit her with it, then bit her on the hand, breaking her skin, before he tried to push her head into a puddle of water, the report said.
When people who heard the victim screaming showed up, Diago ran inside his trailer, the report said. He was later taken into custody.
