18-year-old Steven Jay Teem III had a domestic altercation with his father, Steven Jay Teem Jr., at their 50th Avenue North residence around 11 p.m. on April 30th. When officers arrived, Teem III was outside of the residence, where he told them he and Teem Jr. argued regarding the cleanliness of his bedroom, which escalated when he pushed him twice, once to the ground and then against a wall, leaving a minor cut on his right leg and an abrasion to his right arm. He said he responded by punching Teem Jr. in self-defense. Then, the police spoke with Teem Jr., Teem III’s stepmother, Tiffney Teem, and stepbrother, Ryan Mills, who made similar statements, saying Teem Jr. was attempting to take Teem III’s keyboard away for not obeying the house rules, during which Teem III started punching him repeatedly, leaving a bruise and two dark-red scratch marks on his torso, a bruise around his left eye, and a cut on his nose. Teem Jr. said he pushed him in self-defense after being struck multiple times. Teem III was deemed the primary aggressor and then was taken into custody for domestic assault.

46-year-old Rawaa Khawaji, 29-year-old John Kadum, and 57-year-old Nick Kadum brutally assaulted their minor relative at their shared residence on Amber Hills Lane earlier this week. Police were dispatched late Monday night for a welfare check on the juvenile male, called in by his concerned employer. Officers arrived and noticed his hair was disheveled, cut haphazardly, had a scratch on the back of his right hand, and had several lumps on his face. He stated that Rawaa, his mother, John, his brother, and Nick, his father, attacked him because he had recently become a Christian and they are Muslims. He explained, in further detail, that Nick and John punched him numerous times and spat in his face and that Rawaa took a knife and scratched the back of his hand with it as they demanded him to recant and say he was Muslim. The minor victim advised that this occurred until the officers arrived, trembling as they approached. Rawaa denied that she assaulted him, but Nick and John admitted to striking him. All three were taken into custody and transported to booking.
