Pierce said he entered the living room, yelling, before walking up to him and punching him in the side of his face, causing minor redness. Pierce added that the punch also broke his new $200 prescription glasses. He then told police that Teal was sleeping in his room. Officers spoke with Teal, who said “nothing physical” occurred and that the other roommates “just want him gone.” He admitted to arguing with Pierce but denied the other allegations.
