21-year-old Luke Wood was involved in a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Ava McGraw, at West End Avenue on May 26th. McGraw contacted law enforcement, stating that Wood spit on her during an argument. McGraw exited the car to avoid confrontation, but when she noticed that she had left her phone in the car, she returned to retrieve it. Once McGraw was inside, Wood started accelerating so she couldn’t leave. When McGraw had another opportunity to leave the vehicle, Wood grabbed her by the hair, preventing her from doing so.
