Arpine Misakyan, an Armenian citizen, spent nearly three months in a US immigration detention center after she slapped her husband during an argument at the Encore Hotel buffet in Las Vegas, WKRN.com reports.

No domestic violence charges were filed, but the woman was arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after which she agreed to voluntarily depart the US and be deported to Armenia.

Misakyan was arrested on April 6 at the Encore Las Vegas Hotel after an argument with her husband, Karen Harutyunyan, during dinner at The Buffet at Wynn. According to the police report, the couple argued over a phone, after which Misakyan hit her husband. The incident was captured on the hotel's surveillance cameras.

Hotel employees called the police. Officers who arrived at the scene encountered a language barrier. Harutyunyan spoke only Russian. In the video, he explained to the police that there had been a domestic dispute between the spouses.

After the arrest, Misakyan complained of high blood pressure and breathing problems. She was taken out of the hotel on a stretcher and taken to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada. ICE officers later arrived there and arrested the woman. At that time, according to American media reports, her asylum case was under investigation.

On July 4, she left the US and was sent to Armenia.

An ICE representative said Misakyan had agreed to leave the US voluntarily. The Clark County District Attorney’s office declined to pursue a domestic battery charge that had led to the initial arrest.

Las Vegas police declined to comment on the specific case, but sent KLAS television its policy and procedures on notifying ICE, with which it has a “Memorandum of Agreement.”

“When a foreign-born individual is arrested and charged with a felony, domestic violence, driving under the influence (DUI), burglary, theft, larceny, petit larceny, and/or assault of a law enforcement officer, the Detention Services Division (DSD) will notify ICE at the time of both booking and release,” a section in LVMPD’s policy states. “These charges have the highest impact on public safety.”

The video of the arrest also shows an argument between officers and Misakyan's daughter as she tried to stay with her mother. After the daughter was told that her mother was in custody, she asked to hold her mother's hand to calm her down.
