Love triangle gone bad: Miami cop and pregnant woman allegedly beat up Florida man for cheating

A Miami police officer and a pregnant woman were arrested after allegedly beating up their boyfriend in an apparent love triangle turned violent. The dustup reportedly was ignited when the women discovered that the man had been unfaithful to them.

Miami-Dade Police Officer Anna Elicia Perez, 34, and Mila Zuloaga, 35, were both arrested on May 26 and booked into jail. The off-duty cop and pregnant woman are accused of battering a Florida man for allegedly cheating on them both.

Around midnight last Friday, the jilted women reportedly confronted the man at Miller's Ale House in Palmetto Bay, Florida. Perez and Zuloaga allegedly engaged in a verbal dispute with the unidentified man "regarding infidelity," which quickly escalated into a physical altercation.

According to WTVJ, "Both women hit the man in his face and upper body with their hands multiple times, leaving him with redness on his face and a bruised lower lip, the reports said."

Zuloaga was transported to the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau, while Perez was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Perez confessed to police that she had "pushed and hit the victim multiple times," according to CBS News.

It was unclear whether the women conspired to confront the man or it was a coincidental encounter.

Zuloaga is purportedly seven months pregnant with the man's child and lives with him. The victim is reportedly also in a romantic relationship with Perez.

Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo Ramirez said an investigation into the incident would be conducted.

Ramirez said in a statement, "I am disappointed by this officer’s actions. We are held to a higher standard of conduct on and off duty. Although this officer was off duty, her behavior was unacceptable and it goes against the core values of our department. We will work closely with the State Attorney’s Office and ensure a thorough and transparent investigation."

Perez has been placed on leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation by the State Attorney’s Office.
