23-year-old Seth Waters had a domestic altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Jaisha Thompkins, at her Nevada Avenue residence on June 30th, 2022. When officers arrived, Jaisha told them that Waters accused her of having a relationship with one of her friends, sparking an argument that escalated when he struck her on the side of her face. This caused her to fall on her back, where he mounted her and continued hitting her while she tried to defend herself.
Officers spoke with Angela Woods, Jaisha’s next-door neighbor, who stated she heard the commotion and ran to the residence. Once inside, Angela went to the bedroom and observed the two fighting and Waters on top of Jaisha, so she tried to break it up. After she realized she couldn’t, she grabbed Jaisha’s two children and took them to her house to care for their safety. Officers deemed Waters as the primary aggressor and issued a warrant for his arrest. Waters was taken into custody for domestic assault on April 3rd, 2024.
