SANDY SPRINGS, GA – Marcel Ozuna has been batting .213 this season for the Altanta Braces, so the team won’t be missing him while he defends himself against criminal charges filed against him in Sandy Springs. The Sandy Springs Police Department has arrested 30-year-old Marcell Ozuna Idelfonso pursuant to a domestic violence investigation.
On Saturday, at 12:26 PM, Sandy Springs Police Officers received a 911 call requesting they respond to a residence on Windsor Cove regarding an assault in progress. As Officers arrived to the home, they heard screaming coming from inside and noticed the front door wide open.
