On 3/30/3036, I responded to [200 BLOCK] Emma Gilley Drive, in reference to a domestic dispute in progress. Dispatch advised that a female was on the line stating that she had been in a physical altercation with her brother, Ronald Nelsein; who was currently at the residence and armed with a knife. I activated my emergency lights and sirens and proceeded to the address to prevent further violence. Corporal Tovey 969 and Deputy Cheatwood 930 arrived on before me, secured the scene and advised additional units to slow response.

I arrived on scene and made contact with the complainant, [VICTIM #1], while Cpl Tovey spoke with Ronald outside. [VICTIM #1] was upstairs in her mothers room and agreed to come downstairs to speak with me, she appeared visibly upset with obvious red marks to her neck consistent with being choked and a bloody elbow she advised was from being pushed down the stairs.

[VICTIM #1] stated that her and Ronald had began arguing over cigarettes when Ronald became irate stating that she was stealing from him. She advised that they were outside in front of the front porch when they began arguing, she stated that Ronald pushed her up against the porch and began threatening and choking her with both hands around her throat causing difficulty breathing. She stated that she got away and proceeded up the stairs onto the front porch with Ronald following her. She stated that once at the top of the porch, Ronald grabbed her and pushed her down the stairs, causing her to hit her head and elbow on the way down the stairs. [VICTIM #1] did have sufficient bleeding on her elbow along with EMS confirming she had a golf ball sized knot on her head. All of [VICTIM #1]’s injuries were consistent with her story.

While I was speaking with [VICTIM #1], Corporal Tovey had spoke with Ronald, it was concluded that Ronald was the predominate aggressor. Ronald stated him and [VICTIM #1] began arguing because he believes that she stole $1300 dollars from him and stated that they share a car together and she has not allowed him to use the car for three months. Ronald also stated that [VICTIM #1] had also hit him in the lip and behind the ear during the altercation but did not have any visible red marks or indicators on either place.

[WITNESS #1], Ronald and [VICTIM #1]’s father was also on scene and advised that he witnessed the alteration and agreed to fill out a witness statement form. [WITNESS #1] advised that [VICTIM #1] and Ronald were verbally arguing when he seen Ronald push [VICTIM #1] down the stairs, he advised that he was not yet present when Ronald was choking [VICTIM #1] at the front of the porch.

After speaking with all parties involved, Ronald was placed in double locked handcuffs, checked for fit, and placed in the back of my patrol car. Ronald stated that he needed his keys from his bedroom before he went to jail and gave me permission to go inside and grab them, I proceeded inside and was directed to Ronald’s room by his mother. Upon entering to room, I noticed 2 bags of flower marijuana that were bagged together, along with a circular black marijuana grinder containing marijuana residue. I collected all items and placed them into evidence. I transported Ronald to the jail with no further incident and charged him with Aggravated Assault by Strangulation FVA, Battery FVA, and Possession of Schedule 1 controlled substance (Marijuana).

I placed the evidence bag in evidence locker 3 and attached images of the incident to the report.
