She's not blood so she's my mom's boyfriend's kid so I think she's like 17. Uh what did you witness? Everything she told me pretty much or I yeah, I walked in and they were arguing. I heard arguing from outside and I had walked in and I seen them in the kitchen and I didn't see anyone I didn't see the first punch thrown. I was bringing in my basket, laundry basket but I just seen them go at it and I got the dogs cuz the dogs were Okay. You saw them go at it. Can you explain that or kind of describe what you saw? Like they both just had each other's hands and just were just hitting each other. >> hands on? Okay. And actually punched you first and knee'd you in the face, started throwing things. Okay, let me let the other he'll he'll come and talk to you as well but we just need to determine what if we have violent, you know, if we have charges for domestic violence or not. It sounds like we we do just even coming here but just got to hear it firsthand, you know. Okay, we'll be right back and is it just the two of you here? Yeah. Okay.

Um she said that they were arguing and she became physical, punched her in the face and knee'd her in the face and then just started throwing items in there breaking I'm not throwing them at her but she broke a few things in there but uh physical. So this is so this is minor battery. Uh we have to dismiss the minor battery. Uh I think she just threw the items trying to break them not at her but there's a a big like a like a statue or something like glass or something. So she just threw it and broke it so she didn't throw it at her, she threw it just to break things. Okay. And then uh I don't see injury. I asked her if she needed a 43 or not but maybe if you look at her again I I didn't see >> mom's in there? The mom's in there. The mom's 5'6". That's the younger daughter? Yeah. And she witnessed it too so she said that they just saw them She said they were going at it so they had hands on each other. So they >> So does it sound like the mom was defending herself? Uh yeah. It sounds like it sounds like she just punched her one in the face and then knee'd her in the face and uh I just kind of explained to her that we that's we're just there trying to determine whether or not we have like a you know physical violence or not and she said okay and then and then we'll just get no no kind of battery then.
