A 19-year-old Olivehurst man beat his girlfriend with a jack handle and stabbed her in the leg in front of her 1-year-old son, but she asked a Yuba County judge to put him on probation, according to court documents.
Instead, Judge Julia Scrogin on Monday sent Ramin Bahramand to prison for six years in connection with an incident that started April 17 at Ellis Lake in Marysville.
He pleaded no contest earlier to battery causing serious bodily injury and assault with a deadly weapon — the jack handle.
The 19-year-old woman, who is not being identified by the Appeal-Democrat, broke off her relationship with Bahramand but agreed to meet him at the lake to exchange personal belongings.
According to a Marysville Police Department report, Bahramand reached into her car, unlocked the door and took the 1-year-old, putting the child in his car. He then dragged the woman by her hair into the car and began driving to Sacramento.
On the highway, Bahramand accused the woman of seeing other men and began hitting her in the face with his fist. He took her cell phone and, posing as her, sent a text message to her friend in an attempt to find out who she might be seeing.
Bahramand became angry when the woman bled in the car and stabbed her in the left leg with a folding knife, then beat her on the back of her head and shoulders with the jack handle.
In Sacramento, Bahramand stopped at a pharmacy for bandages, then dropped her off at UC Davis Medical Center, telling her that if she reported the beating she would never see the child again.
The woman received treatment under the name "Trudy Doe" and told police she had been "jumped" at a party. Officers suspected domestic violence, according to a Yuba County Probation Department report.
Early the next morning, Bahramand picked her up and the three drove to Yuba City where they checked into the Nice Inn on Colusa Avenue. Bahramand told her to get ready for a family picnic in Davis.
"Are you going to call the cops?" Bahramand asked her, according to the report. "I'll go to jail for a long time. Please, I love you, I won't do it again. You made me do it."
The woman kept the child close, refused to get back in the car and sought help from bystanders. Bahramand left, the report said.
She contacted a friend who took her to her mother's home in Marysville. When Marysville police officers reached her, she was in severe pain and was having trouble walking.
Bahramand was originally charged with kidnapping the woman from Ellis Lake. But a further investigation located witnesses who made the charge questionable, District Attorney Pat McGrath said Tuesday.
"Our final evaluation was that a jury would not find the charge true beyond a reasonable doubt," McGrath said.
In a Sept. 15 interview with a probation officer, Bahramand said the woman hit him in the car.
"She's that type of girl that would hate on me. She's jealous because I am only 19 and everywhere we go, girls are hitting on me. I have a nice car, I am going to school," he said.
In a letter to the court, the woman said Bahramand had learned his lesson and asked that he be put on probation.
