A fairly standard domestic dispute in an Orlando apartment has become a criminal case involving allegations of battery, witness tampering and an attack on a valuable Pokémon card collection. The argument apparently stemmed from the woman allegedly feeling that her ex wasn’t showing her any affection, according to an affidavit from the local police.
As per reports from outlets such as Guessing Headlights, the incident happened when 23-year-old Nadia Hussain went to her ex’s apartment. Hussain reportedly told investigators that she deliberately set out to provoke him. As the argument got out of hand, the victim reportedly produced his phone to record it. According to the police account, Hussain knocked the phone out of his hand and then allegedly hit him several times, demanding that he delete the recording.
When he said no, she allegedly went for the living room table, where his prized possession, a Pokémon card collection, was resting. According to the affidavit, Hussain knew how much those cards meant to him and targeted them because she knew they would get him riled up. Things were very much on the upswing at that point, so he reportedly took her down to her car before going back upstairs and locking the door of his apartment. That wasn’t the last of it.
He reportedly tried to call 911
A few moments later, Hussain reportedly came back and started banging on the door again, saying she’d left her smoking bong inside. The resident apparently opened the door a crack to hand it over and avoid any more arguments. According to the police account, Hussain allegedly pushed past him and went back into the flat. She reportedly went straight for the living room, but the resident blocked her path.
Hussain then allegedly tried another route via a bathroom that opened into the living area. The resident reportedly believed this was another attempt to get to his trading cards. It was now really going off the rails, and he’d grabbed his phone and tried to call 911.
According to police, Hussain allegedly struck the device repeatedly in an attempt to knock it out of his hand and end the call. That reportedly triggered an automatic hang-up with the dispatchers. Neighbours nearby apparently heard all the noise and came in to assist in getting her out of the flat before the police arrived.
There were no charges in relation to the Pokémon cards
Deputies arrested Hussain and booked her into the Orange County jail. She’s facing a number of charges, including domestic battery and third-degree felony witness tampering, over allegations that she attempted to obstruct communication with the authorities. There were no theft charges in relation to the Pokémon cards, and the collection was reportedly confirmed to have been left undamaged.

The incident has attracted a fair bit of online attention, largely due to the sheer oddity of the focus on the trading card collection. The more serious allegations concern an alleged assault and an attempt to prevent the victim from contacting the police. Hussain has not been convicted of these charges, and the allegations have yet to be tested in court.
