The two were each arrested on one count battery, with Perez allegedly admitting to police she"pushed and hit the victim multiple times." The officer has reportedly been suspended with pay pending the investigation outcome.
"I am disappointed by this officer's actions. We are held to a higher standard of conduct on and off duty," Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez said in a statement."Although this officer was off duty, her behavior was unacceptable and it goes against the core values of our department. We will work closely with the State Attorney's Office and ensure a thorough and transparent investigation.
