TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - Authorities have released the 911 recording of a witness reporting Mario Pender's alleged abuse of his girlfriend.
Pender was arrested on Saturday, May 7, for domestic violence charges.
In the 911 recording, the unidentified caller tells the dispatcher she saw the suspect drag the victim by her scalp and said, "He's about to take her away in a car right now. And he's yelling at her."
The caller also told the dispatcher she had heard the suspect and victim fight in the past but had never seen him become violent before.
Last week, Pender's lawyer announced they would plead not guilty to the charges.
Court documents also say the victim did not cooperate with authorities and would not allow them to document her injuries.
Parts of the audio recording have been redacted by law enforcement.
