Upon arrival, officers contacted a male who said he got into a dispute with two females he did not know and that did not live in the apartment complex. The dispute escalated to pushing and shoving. One of the females pulled out a pocket knife but did not open the blade. The male said he did not feel threatened. Both the females were detained. One female was very intoxicated and claimed the male punched her in the face. Her marks did not appear fresh, and the other female said the marks were from an unreported domestic violence incident that the female did not disclose to the officers.

His information was obtained but he refused to cooperate in any criminal case to officers. He was transported to St. Francis Hospital for further evaluation of bruising and swelling from being punched in the face. The victim only reported that someone hit him.
