TMZ wries that Tavarez and his girlfriend got into an argument at a house in Hollywood over the weekend of 9-10 November, which escalated to a moment where he pushed her and caused her to hit her head.
Police officers were called to the property but Tavarez had left the scene. His girlfriend reportedly had marks on her body but refused medical treatment – according to family sources she suffered a concussion.
