Once on scene Deputies met with the Complainant Ms. [VICTIM ], who advised us that her ex-boyfriend, Mr. Marcus had made multiple attempts to get into her residence. When failing to make entry into the residence, Mr. Marcus stepped away for a moment. When Ms. [VICTIM ] stepped outside, Mr. Marcus had a rush towards the door one more time to attempt to make entry. At that time, Ms. [VICTIM ] pushed Mr. Marcus off of her, which resulted in Mr. Marcus punching her in the face, knocking out a minimum of two front teeth on the bottom jaw for fleeing the scene.
