On 03/23/24 at approximately 0601 hours I responded to [5300 BLOCK] Hwy 301 south in reference to a physical altercation that had already occurred.

While in route to the call Sgt Kevin Strickland who had worked the night shift and was on his way home called me and advised that would be the second call to that address. He stated at approximately 0130 hours they responded to that address for a physical domestic. He stated it was [VICTIM #1], now [VICTIM #1] and her husband Justin Clark. He stated there was no evidence that anything occurred between them before they arrived however Ms [VICTIM #1] wanted to keep bringing things up that occurred a week or so ago that she did not report. He advised both Mr and Mrs [VICTIM #1] had been drinking and for a lack of probable cause nothing was done. He stated both were advised to leave each other alone and go to bed.

Just before my arrival I heard deputy Tyler Daniels letting dispatch know he was on scene of the domestic call. When I arrived I could see deputy Daniels was on the front porch of the complainant’s house talking to the complainant w/m identified as [VICTIM #2] which is the father to the victim. The victim being a w/f named [VICTIM #1] was also on the porch with Mr [VICTIM #2] and deputy Daniels. I could see a w/m named Justin Clark that was later identified as the offender sitting on the porch of the mobile home behind the house where Mr [VICTIM #2] and Ms [VICTIM #1] was located. I walked over to where Mr Clark was located and made contact with Mr Clark.

As I made contact with Mr Clark I asked him what was going on. He advised he was trying to mind his own business, he stated he was also upset she was up talking on her phone. I asked who was she on the phone with thinking he may had caught her talking to another man and that set him off. When I asked who she was talking to he advised “her son I think it was, but she was also doing all kind of stuff on her phone that I couldnt see” He then stated “it just one thing after another, I have rebuilt this son-of-a-bi*ch over here” and he point at the house referring to having done constructional upgrades to the house they are living in.

I then asked him what else took place for her to be accusing him of being physical with her this time. He stated “he did not know what she was talking about. He stated she is always claiming that he is physical with her. He states she has a court case in Homerville Monday where she was involved in the same kind of bullsh*t there”. He claimed he had not put a hand on her, that he would never hit her. He admitted he did tip the sofa that she was sitting on but he did not hit her.

He stated they argued earlier and the law was called out. He stated they were told to separate for the night. He started he took a swallow of a drink with vodka in it, she asked for the rest of the drink in the cup and he gave it to her. He stated she left walking across the yard going to her daddy’s house and he went to bed. He stated as he knew it, it was over and he went to sleep. He stated later he woke up and saw that she was on her phone and he figured she was on the phone talking to her ex-boy friend [REDACTED].

He stated that’s when she started and then she left and went to her daddy’s. He stated if you need to take me to jail he guessed he would go to jail. He stated if he could be allowed to leave he would walk away and would not come back. He once again advised he had not hit her and started talking about personal items he had on the property. I questioned him about them being married to establish his and her rights to the marital residence.

As I asked that question deputy Daniels walked up from having just talked to Ms [VICTIM #1] and her father. I asked dep. Daniels what was he was able to establish by talking to them. He stated Ms [VICTIM #1]’s left eye had a cut and she stated he hit her. He stated she also said Mr Clark tipped the sofa over while she was sitting on it.

I advised Dep. Daniels Mr Clark admitted to tipping the sofa but denied hitting her. Deputy Daniels stated again Ms [VICTIM #1] has a cut over her left eye and stated the injury occurred to her when he hit her.

I then walked over and spoke with Ms [VICTIM #1] and her father. I saw the cut and advised her Mr Clark is going to be arrested for family violence. It was at this time Ms [VICTIM #1] asked that he not be arrested. I advised her he was going to be arrested, I let her know I am not opposed to doing a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and he would be bondable after being booked in. She requested to have it handled with the lesser charge. Mr Clark was at that time placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and was transported to the jail to be booked.

Before I cleared from the call Mr [VICTIM #2], being Ms [VICTIM #1]’s father stated he wanted to press charges against Mr Clark for making threats toward him. He stated Mr Clark told him to come outside and he would beat Mr [VICTIM #2]’s a*s and would pi*s on him while he laid on the ground. I advised Mr [VICTIM #2] I would add his statement to the report and referred him to the magistrate office if he wished to press charges.

Ms [VICTIM #1] and Mr [VICTIM #2] was issue the case number and was referred the the magistrate if they wanted to apply for additional charges
