On August 8, at approximately 2 p.m.
Officers responded to the 2200 block of Colorado Boulevard in regards to a domestic violence call. Upon arriving, officers met with the victim whom stated that she and the subject, later identified as Alan Willis, 35 of Santa Monica, began to argue while they were getting ready to attend a wedding. At the time of the argument, the victim was holding their child in her arms. As the argument continued Willis attempted to remove their child from the victim's arms. At one point, Willis was able to grab a hold of their child and place the child in a room.
The victim heard her child crying and was trying to get him from the room and an altercation ensued in which Willis closed the door on the victim's hand; causing her to become injured. The argument continued as Willis accused the victim of being negligent and almost hitting the child with the door while attempting to open it. Willis went on to grab the victim by the neck and push her against the wall. In fearing that this argument would continue, the victim called the police. Willis was booked for willful infliction of corporal injury. Bail was set at $50,000.
