Domestic Threat

While the girlfriend was getting out of her car there, her sister arrived with the child’s father and the argument continued. The girlfriend reported she was afraid so she locked herself in her car and waited for the police to arrive.
The boyfriend admitted to police that he was angry and had punched out the rear and side window of the silver Honda Civic he had arrived in. The owner of the car was not on the scene and did not return phone calls from police. The girlfriend did not wish to purse charges for the damage. Both boyfriend and girlfriend were transported to headquarters.
