On 06/13/26, at 1408 hours, I was dispatched to [REDACTED], in reference to a domestic.
Upon arrival, I met with [VICTIM #1], who stated he had been involved in an argument with his wife, Teerika Blackmon. Mr. [VICTIM #1] refused to provide details regarding the nature of the argument and would only state that Ms. Blackmon threw an iPad at him. He declined to provide any further statement.
I observed 3 large gaping lacerations above Mr. [VICTIM #1]’s left eye that were actively bleeding. There was also another laceration that was bleeding on his cheekbone under his left eye. Photographs of the injury were taken and will be uploaded to the media section of this report. Liberty County EMS responded to the scene and provided medical treatment to Mr. [VICTIM #1].
I then made contact with Ms. Blackmon inside the residence. Ms. Blackmon admitted to throwing the iPad at Mr. [VICTIM #1]. She stated she had gone through the device and discovered that Mr. [VICTIM #1] had been unfaithful to her while he was deployed. Ms. Blackmon stated the discovery led to a verbal argument between the two. She advised that Mr. [VICTIM #1] separated himself from the confrontation by going into their child’s bedroom, where he was with their son, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] [REDACTED].
Ms. Blackmon stated she followed Mr. [VICTIM #1] into the bedroom and intentionally threw the iPad at him. She advised that she intended to strike Mr. [VICTIM #1] with the device. The iPad struck Mr. [VICTIM #1] above his left eye, causing the injury observed on scene. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] [REDACTED] witnessed the incident.
After being struck, Mr. [VICTIM #1] went to the bathroom to treat his injury. Ms. Blackmon then contacted law enforcement and requested EMS respond to the residence. Based on my investigation, Ms. Blackmon was placed under arrest for Aggravated Battery – Family Violence Act and Cruelty to Children in the Third Degree.
The arrest and transport of the suspect were conducted in accordance with department protocol. The suspect was searched incident to arrest. Handcuffs were applied, checked for proper fit, and double-locked to ensure safety. The suspect was then placed in the backseat of my patrol vehicle and secured with a seatbelt for transport. A search of the patrol vehicle was conducted both prior to and following the transport; no contraband was located. Ms. Blackmon was released to jail staff without issue.
I gave Mr. [VICTIM #1] a case number and advised him how to get a copy of this report.
