ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando woman faces battery and witness-tampering charges after police say an argument involving her ex-boyfriend’s Pokémon cards escalated into a physical confrontation and attempts to stop him from calling 911.

Nadia Hussain, 23, was arrested Nov. 7, according to an Orlando Police Department affidavit provided to Channel 9 by Guessing Headlights, which reported on the case.

The affidavit says the dispute began after Hussain’s ex-boyfriend asked her to leave his apartment and she refused.

Police describe cellphone recording

The responding officer wrote that she reviewed video showing the man telling Hussain he would call security if she did not leave.

According to the affidavit, Hussain struck his phone, knocking it to the ground, then hit him several times on his head and body while demanding that he delete the recording.

Police said Hussain also approached his Pokémon trading cards on a living room table.

During an interview, Hussain told the officer she grabbed the cards and noticed that doing so affected her ex-boyfriend’s behavior, according to the affidavit.

Return to the apartment

The man eventually walked Hussain to her car, then returned to his apartment and locked the door, police said.

According to his account in the affidavit, Hussain returned asking for a bong she had left inside. He said she promised not to enter, but forced her way inside when he partially opened the door to hand it over.

Hussain acknowledged that she “barged” into the apartment, according to the report.

The man told police he grabbed Hussain by her belt and tried to pull her from the bathroom while repeatedly asking her to leave. Hussain told investigators they became physical with each other after she reentered.

Police said she struck his phone several times to prevent him from calling 911. Dispatchers received a 911 hang-up call from his number, according to the affidavit.

Neighbors eventually helped get Hussain out of the apartment, the report states.

The affidavit lists charges of domestic battery and witness tampering to hinder communication with law enforcement. It does not list a theft charge involving the cards.
