Synopsis:
On 09-27-2019 at about 2:27 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a reported domestic violence incident in the 77000 block of Logan Lane in Covelo, California.
When the Deputies arrived, they contacted a 39 year-old adult male and Tonikali Sema.
Deputies learned the adult male and Sema had been cohabitating while involved in a dating relationship for the past two years. The couple got into a verbal argument which resulted in a physical altercation.
The adult male attempted to calm Sema but she became physically violent. At some point during the incident Sema exited the residence at which time the adult male locked the door and called law enforcement.
The Deputies observed minor injuries to the adult male’s left arm and elbow area. The Deputies also noted the adult male had redness and scratches on his right bicep. The adult male declined medical treatment at the scene.
Sema was subsequently placed under arrest without incident for 273.5 (a) PC (domestic violence battery) and was booked into the Mendocino County Jail where she was to be held in lieu of $25,000.00 bail.
