Authorities said Moreno, 44, was arrested on May 15 in southwest Miami-Dade on a charge of strong-armed robbery after a late-night argument with his wife, Barbara Moreno, at the family's home near the 3800 block of Southwest 150th Court.
According to an arrest report, the couple - who are in the process of divorcing - got into an argument around 11:20 p.m. after Pedro Moreno asked to use his wife's cellphone.
When he began searching through it and refused to return it, deputies said a struggle broke out and he forcibly took the phone from her hands.
