When officers arrived, they met with Reginald, who stated that his daughter and grandson robbed him. Officers observed that Reginald had a knot on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, a cut on his eyelids, and a busted lip. Reginald went on to say that he let Johnnita and his grandson into his apartment to hang out. During their interaction, Reginald displayed $200 in his wallet. Reginald stated that once they saw the cash, Johnnita held him down and started hitting him in the face. While he was being held down, his grandson approached him and held a knife to his throat.
