According to the police report, Fletcher stated that he and the female had a minor argument, but nothing physical occurred. He said he busted the rear window out of the car so she could not leave.
When the officer went back inside to speak with the female, a juvenile reportedly spoke up saying Fletcher had been acting crazy and had hit the female a few times. The female allegedly stated Fletcher took her keys, busted her phone and would not let her leave. She said he slapped her in the head three times, grabbed her and pushed her into the wall.
