Wint accused of assault

On December 23, 2008, Wint's girlfriend said the two of them got into another argument. The girlfriend threatened to leave and call police, at which point Wint grabbed the phone, destroyed it and left for 20 minutes. When he returned, Wint's girlfriend wouldn't let him in. She eventually went outside to confront him, at which point Wint grabbed her and threw her on the ground, Wint's girlfriend told police.
On, December 24, 2008 Wint grabbed his girlfriend by the neck, threw her on the bed, slapped her, punched her in the legs and began hitting her in the legs with a belt, according to Wint's girlfriend.
Restraining orders issued against Wint
Wint has had two separate restraining orders issued against him. The first stems from an incident in 2005 after Wint allegedly made threats of violence against a woman inside her home while her child was present. Police were called to the scene and removed Wint from the home, but after they left Wint allegedly stood outside the home and continued to make threats.
The second restraining order came after a incident in 2006. A person noticed an unfamiliar vehicle in their driveway without tags and called police. Officers checked on the car and could not tell if it was a stolen vehicle. Later that evening, Wint allegedly returned to the home to pick up the vehicle. The homeowner then told Wint not to park that vehicle on their driveway, at which point Wint allegedly threatened the homeowner and their family.
The first restraining order was in effect for a year, while the second lasted for six months.
