21-year-old Marie Waller was involved in a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Cedric Cole, on December 11th. The dispute began with an argument over the recent loss of Waller’s close friend. Cole then left the conversation to finish his food in another room. When he returned to the room, the argument escalated, and when he approached Waller, she scratched his head, causing minor cuts to his face below his eye and above his ear. Cole then held Waller down until she told him that she couldn’t breathe. Upon releasing her, Waller retaliated by taking a lamp next to the couch and throwing it at him, but Cole was able to catch the lamp and put it down. Waller then ran to a different room and locked herself inside until Cole called the police. Waller was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault.
