Protective Order Tells a Different Story
Court records from the Prince George’s County District Court include a sworn petition for a protective order filed by Garcia’s alleged wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, in 2021. In her own handwriting, Vasquez recounted multiple instances of verbal, emotional, and physical domestic violence.
“I told him to give me card to pay” (sic)… “he got angry and started insulting me, I only put a few of gas” (sic). Vasquez said in her sworn affidavit.
“Once leaving there, he pulled out like crazy. I started recording because I was scared of the way he was driving; and because our 1 year old was in the back seat and in the recording you can hear him yelling, insulting me, and driving extremely fast,” said Vasquez.
Vasquez also recounts an incident were “He punched and scratched me while I was holding the baby”… “I ran to the bathroom. He cornered me. He left me with bruises, a purple eye, and bloody lip.”
On yet a separate incident occurring on 5/4/2021 at approximately 2:00 p.m., in the presence of their child, Vasquez states “He got angry again to the point that he ripped my shorts and shirt off and I ran to the bathroom.”
The incident Vasquez described resembles a violent sexual assault rather than a mere isolated event or minor domestic dispute. Moreover, the fact that this reportedly occurred in the presence of their child poses a significant and unique risk to the children under their care.
The same sworn documents reveal Garcia punched Vasquez in the eye in a 2020 altercation, and previously kicked her with his boot in 2019. These incidents raise serious red flags not just about Garcia’s violent tendencies, but about child endangerment as the abuse was carried out in front of their children. Garcia and Vasquez have one child together, and Vasquez has two other children from a previous relationship.
