23-year-old Joiunyque Maynard was involved in a domestic altercation with her godmother and roommate, Sunnie Reed, at their residence on June 8th. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Maynard, who stated that she was walking to the pool when Reed called her and asked her about the phone bill. After this, she went back to the residence, which is where the verbal argument started. During the argument, Maynard’s biological mother, Tranika Smith, arrived at the residence. Maynard admitted to officers that during the argument, she shoved Reed in the neck but was pushed away. Maynard admitted after being pushed away, she choked her mother, Tranika Smith, with both of her hands until Reed pulled her off. Maynard then proceeded to throw things outside as she was leaving the residence. Officers then spoke with Reed and Smith, who corroborated Maynard’s statements. Smith also informed officers that her blood flow felt restricted during the choking. When officers went to place Maynard into custody, she attempted to attack Smith again and resisted officers. Maynard was taken into custody for domestic assault, resisting arrest, and aggravated assault.
