On Saturday a domestic violence call was made to the police by an unidentified woman who was in the Dodger's team hotel. The woman claimed that Vicente Padilla, the Dodger pitcher slapped her in the face. Padilla's lawyer stated that she later took back the claim that he had slapped her, and noted that she had no signs of injury that could be used as evidence against Padilla.

Padilla, thus far, has been cooperating with investigators. He was never placed in custody. Leslie Branch-Wise, a Police spokeswoman, stated that there had been no proof that Padilla committed a crime, and that he would not be arrested or charged.

Domestic violence is physical, mental, or verbal abuse that occurs with a family setting or intimate relationship. Incidents of domestic violence may occur between spouses, intimate partners, children, and siblings. Many cases of domestic violence remain unreported. However, when a domestic violence incident is reported to law enforcement, either by the victim or a witness, the incident is always thoroughly investigated.
