Officials in Puerto Rico say this is not the first time Don Omar is accused of violent behavior, and detectives are investigating a possible pattern of abuse by him against the victim.

Lt. Aimee Alvarado told Radio Isla 1320 that the investigation is “ongoing and that officers are following up” on what she said were previous reports of domestic violence.

Don Omar is one of the most famous “reggaetoneros” in the industry. He’s won 10 awards last year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards and has also appeared in several movies, including “Fast & Furious” in 2009.
