A Pacific Beach man was ordered to stand trial for allegedly punching two San Diego police officers and throwing his 47-pound dog at them after they showed up to investigate a noise complaint. One officer suffered a broken nose and the other a concussion on Dec. 15 after they knocked on the door of Tyler Jordan Torres, 31, who police said had been drinking. Torres earlier refused to turn the music down in his apartment on Ingraham Street near La Playa Avenue. The officers testified at a preliminary hearing before San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert O’Neill, who ordered Torres to stand trial for two felony assaults on officers and resisting arrest. He also ordered Torres to stand trial in an unrelated case of battery on a police officer on April 24, 2011, which also occurred in Pacific Beach. In the Dec. 15 case, a security guard testified that neighbors complained Torres’ music was too loud. The guard said he told Torres of the complaint but Torres shut the door quickly and refused to turn the music down. Police were then called to deal with the matter. Torres is free on $100,000 bond and a trial date will be set later.
