[NARRATIVE #1 on July 26, 2026]

On the above date I responded to [40 BLOCK] Dugger Rd in responce to a possible active break-in. When I arrived I spoke to [VICTIM #1] and [WITNESS #1]. Both states that while playing the game machines at Hwy 27 ventures when [VICTIM #1]’s ex FOWLER, JESSE TRENT became angry at them. Both state Jesse was drunk and blaming them for Jesse losing his phone. They left the store and went to [40 BLOCK] Dugger but jesse followed. This is when an argument broke out and Jesse hits [VICTIM #1] in the face breaking her glasses.

I did observe [VICTIM #1] glasses in the yard broken. [VICTIM #1] did have a red mark on the side of her face and I also saw a cut on her left forearm. The cut was obviously not from finger nails and looked to be from a knife, [VICTIM #1] could not tell me how she got it. I then began to search the area for jesse to no avail.

Later that night Jesse was arrested on a arrest warrant I read him Miranda rights and asked him about the incident. Jesse states that he was upset with [VICTIM #1] and an argument did break out at the dugger address. Jesse then states that [VICTIM #1] cut him with a knife and he ran into the woods and feel asleep. Jesse did have a cut above his left eye. Jesse states he was drunk and couldnt remember exactly what happened.

I tried to contact [VICTIM #1] again to no avail

It was later found out that Jesse has a no contact order againts [VICTIM #1] confirmed through the jail.

[NARRATIVE #2 on July 26, 2026]

On 07-26-2026 at approximately 2025 hours, I (Officer Shaw) noticed a male, Jesse Trent Fowler, walking north on Old Dalton Rd. The night before Jesse was involved in a physical altercation with his girlfriend. (Report from the night prior: 260700313PD ) I knew Jesse had charges and that the lead officer (Officer Carpenter) from the night prior was taking a warrant for his arrest. I contacted Officer Carpenter to see if he had gotten the warrant signed, he stated he was on his way to get it signed.

With this information I staged near the area I saw Jesse and waited for conformation that the warrant was signed. During this time I saw Jesse go to the residence of [SINGLE DIGIT BLOCK] Green Acre Rd, once I received conformation that the warrant was signed I proceeded to that address to make contact with Jesse.

I pulled into the driveway and Jesse was standing in the front yard, I called out to him and had him walk over to my car. I told Jesse to turn around and that he was under arrest, I applied my handcuffs to Jesse’s wrist, checked for fit, and double locked them. I informed Jesse of his warrant and told him it was a warrant for what had taken place the night prior. Jesse understood and wanted to make a statement on what happened the night prior, I then read him his miranda rights and allowed him to make his statement.

Jesse stated he was intoxicated and was in a verbal dispute with his girlfriend, he claimed that during their argument she pulled a knife on him and hit him with the knife causing a laceration above his eyebrow, in which he did have a cut above his left eyebrow. He then claimed after she did that he slapped her across the face and left the scene, he stated he simply walked into a wooded area next to the house and fell asleep somewhere in the woods.

I informed Jesse that the officer who took the warrant would be on scene shortly and he could inform him of that information as well. While we waited for Officer Carpenter I searched Jesse incident to arrest. After Officer Carpenter arrived on scene and spoke with Jesse, Officer Carpenter handed me the warrant and I placed Jesse in the back seat of my patrol vehicle and transported Jesse to the Floyd County Jail without incident and released him to the deputies at the jail.
