Moses then told police that the couple had been arguing and that Jones had touched the back of her head and pulled her hair, according to the arrest report.
LVMPD officers were notified and able to track down Jones near the hotel. However, Jones became irate and smashed his head into the hood of the patrol vehicle that left a medium-sized dent when he was being detained.
Jones' was an "emotional roller coaster" according to police but he eventually calmed down and told them the two had been going through a lot lately and that the couple did get into an argument in the hotel room.
Police booked Jones on suspicion of domestic battery and injuring or tampering with a vehicle with damages of $5,000 or more.
