Aman from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was arrested Sunday night after allegedly beating up his fiancee at the rental unit they were staying in.
The couple was vacationing at Carmel Valley Ranch when they had an argument about 8 p.m. that turned physical, sheriff's Sgt. Dennis English said in a prepared statement.

English said Joel Feinberg pushed his 36-year-old fiance and hit her about the head and face before taking her engagement ring.

The woman was able to get away and locked herself in another room, but Feinberg kicked down the door, which hit his fiance in the head, English said. Feinberg then left on foot with a suitcase.

Deputies were called and searched for Feinberg with the help of a California Highway Patrol helicopter that happened to be in the area.

He was found a short time later walking along Carmel Valley Road south of Robinson Canyon Road and arrested, English said. Authorities said they recovered the woman's ring and placed it into evidence.

Feinberg, whose age was not disclosed, was taken to Monterey County Jail and his fiance was taken to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula for treatment of her injuries.

traveling south about 10 a.m. when for an unknown reason she lost control of her vehicle for an unknown reason.
The 2001 Toyota Sequoia overturned and came to rest on its roof on the highway off-ramp, Parker said.

The southbound lanes of the highway were closed for about 20 minutes so a medical helicopter could land to take the woman to a hospital, Parker said.

Parker said the woman suffered cuts, scrapes and a broken ankle. She was taken to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula for treatment.

Her child was strapped in a car seat and was uninjured, Parker said.

Witnesses said the crash may have been triggered by another vehicle that cut off the woman or a tire blow-out on the sport utility vehicle. Parker said officers had not made a determination and the crash remains under investigation.
