On 05/24/2026 at approximately 1948 hours, I was dispatched to Edgewood Park Apartments, [2600 BLOCK] North Columbia Street, where I made contact with the complainant, [REDACTED], in refence to an incident which occurred.
[REDACTED] advised his son, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (15 YOA), called him advising his uncle, Benjamin Renfroe, was assaulting him and his mother. [REDACTED] advised he called and heard a lot of commotion in the background and called for law enforcement to not get himself in trouble.
[VICTIM #1], mother of [REDACTED], and brother of Benjamin stated Benjamin arrived home by a family friend shortly before this incident occurred. [VICTIM #1] advised Benjamin was drunk, and the friend refused to let him drive, which upset him. [VICTIM #1] stated Benjamin became argumentative with their mother, [WITNESS #1], about having favorites and choosing sides. [VICTIM #1] stated Benjamin then switched to her, starting a verbal argument, before swinging and striking her.

[VICTIM #1] stated [REDACTED BY AGENCY] had a cut on his back from the incident. [VICTIM #1] further advised she had a cut on her finger from it as well.

[WITNESS #1] advised Benjamin arrived home drunk and became belligerent with her. [WITNESS #1] stated shortly after, Benjamin struck [VICTIM #1], causing her two grandchildren to get involved to defend their mother.
