Nathaniel Berg & Leslie McDowell — it’s a lot to unpack

41-year-old Nathaniel Berg & 41-year-old Leslie McDowell were jailed over an argument about drugs that turned violent at his home on Baxter avenue. Leslie told police that she had her friend Angela Segroves over for dinner. Leslie and her boyfriend Nathaniel got into an argument when Nathaniel asked her for drugs, and she responded, “I do not have any.” Nathaniel became upset with that response and told her to leave and grab all of her belongings. As she was leaving, Nathaniel started grabbing her things back, leading to a tug-of-war over her belongings.

During the altercation, Leslie’s right ear got hit by a doorframe. She also said that she was pinned down by her arms by Nathaniel. The altercation ended when Leslie and Angela left the house. When police questioned Nathaniel, he told them that Leslie treated his home like a storage unit and that when he told her he wanted her and her friend out of his house, she got upset and tried to fight him, and that’s why he pinned her arms down, in self-defense. He told police that while her arms were pinned, Leslie managed to bite his cheek and pinch his thigh.

Police questioned the friend, Angela Segroves, who said what actually happened was that she and Leslie were eating; when Nathaniel came in, he told Leslie that she couldn’t eat the food in the house, but Leslie ignored him and kept eating. Nathaniel then got in her face. Leslie got up and went from room to room, trying to avoid Nathaniel until he grabbed her by both of her arms and shoved her to the ground, and had a screwdriver in his hand. She said that Leslie continued to fight while her side was being pushed up against a door frame, and then she was picked up and physically thrown out of the house by Nathaniel. They were both taken to booking.
