On June 20, 2026, at approximately 21:20 hours, I, Officer Udombon, responded to [500 BLOCK] Horace Luther Drive (Nunley Homes) Apt [REDACTED] in reference to a possible violation of a court order.
Once on scene, I activated my body-worn camera and made contact with complainant, [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] stated Ashley Hurtado was prohibited by court order/bond condition from having contact with her and juvenile, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] is Ashley’s daughter. [VICTIM #1] advised she had learned [REDACTED BY AGENCY] spent the night at Ashley’s residence despite the no-contact order being effect. According to Carroll County Court records, this order came into effect on June 4, 2026.

I spoke with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] father, [WITNESS #1] regarding the incident. [WITNESS #1] was in the driveway attempting to leave with [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. He stated he did not know what was going on and did not provide any information regarding the alleged violation. However, [WITNESS #1] stated [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did in fact stay the night at Ashleys residence. This concluded my initial conversation with [WITNESS #1].
Sergeant Massey and I then made contact with Ashley, who was inside the residence.

Ashley was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Carroll County Jail for housing.
