By THE STAR STAFF

Metropolitan Bus Authority (AMA by its initials in Spanish) Director Luis González Rosario was taken into custody Saturday night in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident in the Guaynabo neighborhood of Garden Court.

Local police have confirmed the arrest, which occurred after officers responded to a 911 call around 10:40 p.m.

According to the complaint, González Rosario and an unnamed woman had attended an activity together earlier in the evening. During their return trip, an argument ensued inside González Rosario’s vehicle. The situation escalated, with the director allegedly using profanity and physically restraining the woman by grabbing and holding her hands until they reached her residence.

Police arrived at the scene, where González Rosario was arrested. Paramedics assessed him on-site, but he declined transportation to the hospital. The AMA director was later taken to Bayamón Regional Hospital for further evaluation. Meanwhile, the woman chose not to receive hospital treatment.

The case has been referred to the Domestic Violence Division for further investigation, though no information regarding potential charges against González Rosario had been released as of press time.
