As the argument escalated, she informed Delgado she was going to leave and began collecting her belongings, his arrest report stated.
As she attempted to pick up her belongings, Delgado is accused of striking her arm, causing her to drop her cellphone and pushing her.
He is also accused of shoving the woman out of the residence with force.
Police say the woman, who called 911, suffered scratches to her nose, left shoulder and arms.
Over two months later, on Aug. 25, Delgado turned himself in at the Turner Guilford Correctional Facility.
He has since been charged with one count of simple battery, a first-degree misdemeanor.
A hearing on the matter was held Wednesday, at which time the case was assigned to a new judge. Delgado’s attorney did not dispute the change.
