Aiken Man Arrested for Assaulting Four Women Following Dispute Over Music Volume

Aiken, South Carolina — A 33-year-old man, Miguel Camargo, was arrested on August 24, 2025, after allegedly assaulting four women during an argument over loud music in his apartment. He now faces multiple charges, including three counts of third-degree assault and battery, as well as one count of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

The situation escalated when Camargo, following a prior police visit responding to a noise complaint earlier in the day, resumed playing loud music in his apartment. This led to a confrontation with a 45-year-old female victim, which quickly became physical. Witnesses reported that Camargo exhibited aggressive behavior, including slamming a victim’s face into the balcony floor and dragging another victim down the hallway.

Upon arrival, law enforcement found one victim with visible injuries, while three other victims were discovered hiding in a bedroom. Reports indicate that the women suffered injuries while attempting to intervene in the physically aggressive altercations. The swift response by police led to the immediate handcuffing of Camargo, who was then transported to the Aiken County detention center.

Throughout the incident, Camargo maintained that a bite inflicted on one of the women was meant as a kiss intended to express an apology. However, his claims did little to mitigate the severity of the alleged assaults against the victims. This incident is now under investigation as police work to understand the full circumstances surrounding the violence.

Details of the Victims

The victims included:

• A 28-year-old female
