On 6/22/24 at 20:46 hours I was dispatched to [40 BLOCK] Akin Rd in reference to a domestic where a supposed gun has been pulled.
Upon arrival I spoke with [WITNESS ], she stated that a man by the name of John Flowers showed up to there house with [VICTIM ] to retrieve her vehicle that [VICTIM ] drove to [40 BLOCK] Akin Rd to avoid a conflict with [VICTIM ] who is he fiance, [WITNESS ] then stated that [VICTIM ] didn’t want [VICTIM ] to leave with the vehicle due to her being intoxicated. [WITNESS ] then stated that this time John pulled a small gun out and pointed it at [VICTIM ] and stated to come to the road. At that time [VICTIM ] gave the keys, to the car, to [VICTIM ] and her and John left.
At this time I spoke to [VICTIM ], [VICTIM ] stated that they was all at tanner park earlier in the day, and that when they left him and [VICTIM ] went to their at [1800 BLOCK] Lovvorn RD Lot [REDACTED] and that’s when they got into any argument. [VICTIM ] then stated that he took the car and came to [40 BLOCK] Akin RD to avoid the drama and the fight, He then said that John and [VICTIM ] came to [40 BLOCK] Akin RD asking to get the car. [VICTIM ] then stated that he didn’t want [VICTIM ] to drive because he believed that he was intoxicated and at that time is when John pulled a gun and pointed it at him and told him to come to the road. [VICTIM ] stated that he then gave the keys to [VICTIM ] and that her and John left.
At this time I started gathering everyone’s information for the report when John called [VICTIM ] on the phone my self and other Deputies spoke to John on the phone and he stated that he had video of the whole incident so after gathering everyone’s information at [40 BLOCK] Akin RD we relocated to [1800 BLOCK] Lovvorn Rd Lot [REDACTED].
Upon our arrival at [1800 BLOCK] Lovvorn Rd Lot [REDACTED] I spoke to John Flowers and asked if I could see the video of the incident. John stated that he didn’t really have any video footage of the incident that he just said that because he believed that [VICTIM ] was lying about Deputies being there and that he didn’t believe that he was speaking to real Deputies, so he said that to mess with [VICTIM ]. I then asked John what happened to cause this whole incident. John stated that [VICTIM ] came up to his house at [1800 BLOCK] Lovvorn Rd Lot [REDACTED] Bleeding and had multiple cuts and bruises and stated that [VICTIM ] had beaten her up, dragged her across the ground, and took her car so he just wanted to help her get her car back due to [VICTIM ] asking him not to call 911.
I then asked what happened when they arrived at [40 BLOCK] Akin Rd and John stated that when they arrived [VICTIM ] didn’t want to give the keys back to [VICTIM ] and they got in to a argument and [VICTIM ] pulled a knife on him and that when he said come to the road. John then stated that at that time is when [VICTIM ] gave the Keys to [VICTIM ] and they both left the scene. I then asked John if he pulled a gun and pointed at [VICTIM ] and he stated that he didn’t and don’t even have a gun on him or in his car.
At this time I spoke to [VICTIM ] and asked her what had happened tonight. [VICTIM ] stated that after they got back from the park that her and [VICTIM ] got into an argument over [VICTIM ] wanting to sleep with another woman. [VICTIM ] then stated that she was done with the fight and went to bed and that’s when [VICTIM ] pulled her out of the bed choked her and dragged her across the floor inside the trailer. She then stated that [VICTIM ] took the keys to her car and left going to his cousins house at [40 BLOCK] Akin Rd and that’s when she went to John’s house and told him what had happened. I then asked what happened when they got to [40 BLOCK] Akin Rd [VICTIM ] stated that she got her keys to her car and left the house. I then asked if she knew anything about a gun or knife being pulled and she stated that she didn’t see or know anything about that possibly happening.
I then asked [VICTIM ] multiple times if she needed an EMS to check her out. [VICTIM ] rejected any type of medical attention. I then asked if she wanted to press charges on [VICTIM ], and she stated that she didn’t want anything done about it and didn’t want to press charges on him.
I then informed [VICTIM ] that a report was going to be filed about the whole incident and what all had been said. At this time I gathered photos of the injures on [VICTIM ] for the report and gathered hers and John’s information.
No arrest was made due to conflicting stories and very bias witnesses. All photos will be uploaded to the report.
