On February 17, 2025 at approximately 18:02 I, Deputy Allen Burch, responded along with SFC Watson to [900 BLOCK] Wilbanks Rd in reference to a domestic disturbance between the caller, Brittney Covington, and the callers ex girlfriend, [VICTIM #1]. I arrived on scene and met with Brittney Covington who was standing beside a dumpster in the driveway.

Miss Covington stated that she has been living with [VICTIM #1] for about 10 months and that she moved from Mississippi to live and work here with Miss [VICTIM #1]. She stated that today Miss [VICTIM #1] kicked her out and would not let her get her stuff. She also stated that she smacked a phone out of Miss [VICTIM #1]’s hand due to her recording her. She also stated that Miss [VICTIM #1] went onto her phone and took money from her account and sent it too herself (Miss [VICTIM #1]).

While speaking with her subjects came walking down the driveway with some of her belongings and she stated some stuff was still at the house and a female later identified as [REDACTED] went back to the house to get the items. I explained there was not much I could do about the accusation on the money and that she could go to magistrate court and she stated she understood. Miss Covington also explained that her mother was on her way from Mississippi to pick her up. I asked SFC Watson to stand by with her and I went to the house to speak with [VICTIM #1].

I met with Miss [VICTIM #1] and she stated that her and Miss Covington were breaking up and that Miss Covington has mental issues and has hit herself in the past. She stated that today she was cussing and causing a disturbance in front of her kids and that’s what led to her telling her to leave. She also stated that Miss Covington knocked her phone from her hand and stated she shoved her arm and hand back into to face to do so. She also stated this was on video and happened in front of her six year old child. She showed me the video which showed them arguing and go into the bedroom and the phone moves rapidly and falls to the ground, in the video you can also see the 6 year old girl sitting on the bed.

I asked if she was stopping Miss Covington from getting her stuff and she stated no and it appeared that she wasn’t trying to stop her from getting her things and had friends or family on scene even trying to help. She also had videos of Miss Covington possibly making threats in the past of Self harm. All videos that were sent to me will be submitted into evidence. Miss [VICTIM #1] also asked that I speak with her children a [REDACTED BY AGENCY], and [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. Both kids statements were short but stated that [VICTIM #1] and Brittney were arguing and Brittney hit [VICTIM #1].

I asked if Brittney had all her belongings and she had two pocket knives in [VICTIM #1]’s car which I collected and she then stated that was all of Brittney’s stuff. I then relocated back to Brittney and she stated that she had everything if I had collected her knives. I then placed Brittney under arrest for Simple Battery F.V. due to her making contact of a insulting or provoking nature and Disorderly Conduct for her cussing in front Miss [VICTIM #1]’s kids. I then transported her to the jail and SFC Watson transported her belongings. As I was walking her into the jail she stated that she forgot her shoes and I explained how that could be handled when she gets out of jail. She was then turned over to Jail staff with out incident.
