  3. Police Officers Nunez and Vasquez were dispatched to the Downtown Cellular mobile phone store at 1453 Eastern Boulevard, where an assault and robbery had taken place several minutes earlier. Arriving at 4:20 p.m., the officers found the store in disarray with broken glass on the floor and display cases damaged. They proceeded to interview the store's owner, Ahmed Mahmoud. He said he was managing the store with his brother, Rafik, when two young men entered the shop seeking to sell a mobile device. The young men became enraged, Mahmoud said, after being told the business did not purchase cell phones. A female customer was in the store at the time, Mahmoud said, and the two suspects began directing hostile comments at her. One of them eventually grabbed the woman by the arm, prompting Rafik Mahmoud to order both young men out of the shop immediately.
    
    According to Ahmed Mahmoud's account, as the two suspects neared the door, one of them produced a switchblade and attempted to stab Rafik in the gut. He blocked the thrust of the knife, according to his brother, but in doing so received a stab wound to the left hand. Rafik Mahmoud and the two suspects continued grappling outside on the street. Moments later, the proprietor saw the young men re-enter the shop holding a brick that may have been lying in the street. They proceeded to smash several glass cases and shelves and exit with a number of mobile phones worth a total of more than one thousand dollars.
    
    Lashawn Richards approached Officer Nunez while the two officers were questioning the store owner. She said she had been in the salon next door to Downtown Cellular when the incident took place and came outside to investigate the commotion. She heard the two young men yelling to a third person sitting in a parked car on the other side of the boulevard. Richards managed to take a picture of the suspects on her mobile phone. She then ducked back into the salon for her safety, she said. She watched the suspects run past the salon's window as they fled the scene on foot. The vehicle whose driver they had spoken to, a blue sport utility vehicle, drove away at the same time, she said. The officers arrived approximately 10 minutes later, by Richards's estimate.
    
    At 5:25 p.m. the two officers heard over the radio that two adolescent suspects had been detained in connection with a robbery at a cell phone outlet.

  2. Questions 47–49 refer to the following stimulus.
  3. The majority of domestic abuse victims are women, but women can also be perpetrators of violence against intimate partners. A more common scenario is for men to accuse their female partners of verbal or psychological abuse. However, in some cases these domestic disputes cross the line from words to physical confrontation. Women in quarrels with a spouse or lover may use a weapon either to defend themselves or to threaten harm against their partner. Men are often too embarrassed to report instances in which they have been battered by a female partner.
    
    Officers Bryant Porter and Marlene Martinez responded on a recent Thursday to a call related to a domestic dispute at 504 Monroe Road. A neighbor, Mrs. Renee Erickson of 506 Monroe Road, had placed the call at 5:13 p.m., saying she heard a loud argument and the sound of breaking glass from the adjacent row house. No such sounds were audible as the officers approached the house. Carolina Fuentes answered the door. Her pink blouse had several small but visible blood stains. Stepping inside, the officers found a great deal of broken glass.
    
    After a moment, the woman's husband, Bernardo Fuentes, emerged from the bathroom, wearing a white undershirt, khaki slacks with a brown leather belt, and brown loafers. He was pressing a towel against his temple to stanch the flow of blood, and several small puncture wounds were visible on his neck.
    
    At first, Mr. Fuentes denied that his wife had caused these injuries, but Mrs. Fuentes admitted coming at him while holding the neck of a broken bottle. The woman explained that the couple had been in a heated argument about money and overdue bills. Mr. Fuentes, she said, had smashed a coffee mug and two empty liquor bottles onto the floor of the couple's living room. At that point, Mrs. Fuentes said, she picked up a broken bottle by the neck and threatened him with it.
    
    “I told her put it down,” her husband interjected, “and went over to take it from her.” Both parties affirmed that Mrs. Fuentes struck her husband with the glass while the pair struggled. Officer Martinez asked the woman whether her husband had tried to injure her during the altercation. “No, ma'am,” she said. “He tried to stop me but I was too strong and too mad.” Officer Martinez then handcuffed Mrs. Fuentes and placed her under arrest for misdemeanor domestic battery.
