29-year-old Cierra Denac Duncan had a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Jamar Wilson, at her residence on Ponder Place late December 30th. Wilson spoke with officers when they arrived and advised them that he was attacked by Duncan and had partial footage of the incident on his phone. They reviewed the video, and it showed Duncan pulling him by the hair, striking him while on her bed, as Wilson asked her to let him go repeatedly. Then, during the interaction, they relocated to the closet, where Duncan was heard demanding he give her the house key she gave him before hitting him again. Wilson was able to leave, but she continued to follow him. Wilson had a bloody nose, which he claimed was from when Duncan punched him in the face. Duncan spoke with them and said Wilson grabbed her, causing red markings, bruises, and scratches on her. Police deemed Duncan the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
