On Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at around 1331 hours Lt. Lindberg was informed of a phone call holding for an Officer Jeremy Henry from Norman Park Police Department. Lt. Lindberg spoke with Officer Henry via phone and was informed that he had just arrested Timothy Barrett for Simple Battery (FV) due to an assault on his girlfriend [VICTIM #1]. Officer Henry informed he was called to a local store due to a domestic incident, and during his investigation he learned that [VICTIM #1] had been assaulted in his jurisdiction by Timothy, but also prior to leaving Thomas County she had also been assaulted by Timothy. Officer Henry informed that he told [VICTIM #1] to get medically cleared due to the assault in Thomas County, and she informed that she would go to Archbold Medical Hospital.
Lt. Lindberg responded to Archbold and made contact with [VICTIM #1] in the front lobby. [VICTIM #1] advised that the incident started when she and Timothy woke up. [VICTIM #1] advised that Timothy was upset with her because his bait fish had died due to the tanks air pump failing during the night. [VICTIM #1] stated that Timothy blamed her for not fixing it due to her staying up later than him. [VICTIM #1] informed that the argument continued as she prepared for work. [VICTIM #1] informed that she asked Timothy if he was going with her to work due to him frequently going and being with her at work. She advised that he at first stated that he wasn’t, but then changed his mind and jumped in the driver’s seat of her vehicle. [VICTIM #1] advised that the arguing continued until on there way to work and she started to believe he might hurt her.
[VICTIM #1] informed that Timothy has physically assaulted her in the past. [VICTIM #1] stated that she pressed the On Star button in her car, knowing that they would contact 911, and that if she used her phone Timothy would grab it from her when she tried to call. [VICTIM #1] advised that after On Star connected Timothy began yelling at the dispatcher telling them to get off the phone and demanding [VICTIM #1] to say everything was okay. (Lt. Lindberg was familiar with this, due to Thomas County Dispatch informing of a “rolling verbal domestic dispute” earlier in the day around 0819 hours. The vehicle description was given but never observed.) [VICTIM #1] stated that while Timothy was yelling at the On Star dispatcher they were on the US Hwy 84 Bypass just off of US Hwy 319 south. She informed that after contact with On Star Timothy changed from driving her to work and drove to the SusyQ’s off of Oak Hill Rd.
[VICTIM #1] informed that after pulling into the parking lot she observed a couple of men standing near a car and tried to yell out for help, but Timothy got on his knees in the driver’s seat and began to choke her. [VICTIM #1] stated that she did not loose consciousness but that she could not breath while Timothy’s was chocking her, and that she became nauseous after he released her. [VICTIM #1] also complained of pain in her neck. [VICTIM #1] advised that after chocking her Timothy reversed the car rapidly running into the ditch before leaving the store. [VICTIM #1] stated that Timothy drover around taking back roads. She advised that she was unsure of the road taken, but while driving he continued to yell at her, and one point told her “ill wreck this car and kill both of us”. [VICTIM #1] advised Timothy also back handed her splitting her lip, and at one point he bit two of her fingers on her right hand. Lt. Lindberg observed marks on [VICTIM #1]’s neck, broken skin on [VICTIM #1]’s write hand fingers and her lip slit open.
Lt. Lindberg spoke with Thomas County Investigator Banos and advised him of the case. Lt. Lindberg stood with [VICTIM #1] until Investigator Banos responded and conducted an interview.
Lt. Lindberg took pictures [VICTIM #1]’s injuries and uploaded them under case number 25061578.
