The suspect accused of killing CashApp founder Bob Lee was cited last year by police for misdemeanor battery, the San Francisco Chronicle reported exclusively Thursday. Police in Emeryville cited and released Nima Momeni on a misdemeanor battery charge after a woman reported he attacked her, the newspaper reported, citing documents obtained in a public records request. Momeni was taken to the San Francisco County jail last week, where he was booked on one charge of murder. Dispatch records show she told police Momeni “grabbed her arm & pulled it, pushed her physically,” the paper reported. Police officers “indicated they cited and released Momeni on suspicion of battery almost an hour after the call came in,” the Chronicle said.
