News 8 has chosen not to name the woman involved in the domestic battery incident.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The owner of a popular Broad Ripple nail salon faces charges after police say he attacked a woman when she accused him of stealing money.
Tuan Nguyen, 43, owner DaVi Nail Spa in Broad Ripple, faces misdemeanor charges of battery, domestic battery, and battery resulting in bodily injury following the July 10 incident.
Court documents say an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer was dispatched to a home in the 6000 block of College Avenue to investigate a domestic disturbance.
They arrived and met with a woman who said she and Nguyen fought. When she came home that day, she noticed money missing from its spot under her bed, and asked Nguyen if he had it.
Nguyen denied having it. The woman then said she’d call the police.
The woman told the officer that Nguyen then “grabbed her by the hair and pushed her, causing them both to fall on the floor.” She also said during the fight, “Nguyen began pulling on her dog, trying to break the dog’s leg.”
The woman then ran out of the house to call 911.
Officers detained Nguyen at the scene, who once again denied having the money. He told investigators that after she threatened to call the cops, he “grabbed her by the back of her shirt and they fell to the ground and had a scuffle.”
Nguyen was then taken to the Marion County jail.
News 8 confirmed on Tuesday that he had been released and was back operating the nail salon.
Help is available for victims of domestic violence. Below is a list of suggested resources on the Domestic Violence Network website:

IPS 'Back to School Nights' prepares students for new school year

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis Public Schools has turned many of its schools into one-stop shops this month that enable kids to thrive inside and outside the classroom.
James Russell Lowell Montessori hosted one of the district’s “Back to School Nights” on the eve of the new school year, which starts on Thursday.
Chandrel Downs’ two kids attend Lowell, and despite spending several hundred dollars on supplies she still needed to pick up an extra backpack given out at the event:
“For the twins, it was $400, just alone for clothes, and school supplies and shoes,” she said.
Hensley Law Group donated hundreds of backpacks to the event. Overdose Lifeline had a booth set up to help provide substance abuse counseling, and Edna Martin was on hand to promote its after-school services.
Principal Christine Rembert said immunizations were provided and a voter registration booth was available.
“I think from a family perspective it’s nice to have all the things in one place, as opposed to having to go to a variety of different agencies. Time is very precious, especially for families,” Rembert said.
The event also allowed students and parents to meet teachers, administrators, and fellow students.
“The children spend most of their waking time at school, and we want parents to feel a high level of comfort with us who are at the school,” Rembert said.
Downs had one child who already attends Lowell Montessori and two more have been there since pre-school. Despite that familiarity, she’s glad to meet her kids’ teachers.
“We get to talk to them, and let them know the ins and outs of your kids, get to meet them,” she said.

Colts players and coaches speak on Samson Ebukam's injury
![Colts players and coaches speak on Samson Ebukam's injury Colts players and coaches speak on Samson Ebukam's injury](https://www.wishtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30/AP24212694286860.jpg)
WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — The Colts lost a major contributor to last year’s defense to injury, Samson Ebukam, who suffered a torn Achilles’ at training camp on Sunday.
Ebukam led the team in sacks last season with 9.5.
Colts head coach Shane Steichen talked about Ebukam’s injury on Tuesday after practice.
“That’s a tough break for us,” Steichen said. “I mean, what a great competitor he is. The sacks he had last year, and he was just continuing in the right direction. So, big blow there but guys have got to step up.”
Fortunately for the Colts, they have a lot of depth at defensive end. Kwity Paye, Dayo Odeyingbo, and Tyquan Lewis combined for 20.5 sacks last season for the Colts. Plus, they drafted Laiatu Latu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Ebukam and Latu built a strong bond in the past few months since Latu was drafted.
“That’s my big bro,” Latu said. “So, I was learning a lot from him. He’s been like a big brother to me since I got here, even before. I watch a lot of film on him. He’s just been somebody that I really look up to. So, I really just want to go out here and play for him and be able to do what he does on the field so that it doesn’t feel like we’re missing a link.”
With the loss of Ebukam, Steichen said that the reps are likely going to pick up for the rest of the guys at defensive end. But, he said they’re going to have be smart about it during training camp.
While Latu has been really impressive so far in training camp, Steichen also had great things to say about Lewis for the depth that the Colts have at the position.
“He’s tremendous for us,” Steichen said. “He’s been here for a while. Just the way he goes about his business every single day, the way he rushes the passer. I mean, he’s a leader in that room for a reason and we’re extremely excited to have him.”
“We still have a lot of great leaders in that room,” Lewis said. “We know that we have a void to fill. He (Ebukam) was our sack leader last year, but we’re going to come in waves. We all stick together as one.”
The Colts return to practice at training camp on Wednesday from 10-11:30 a.m.
