Townsend stated that she got into a physical altercation with Muniz. Townsend also told officers that she sustained a swollen wrist and a scratch on her arm because of her fight with Muniz. When officers asked Townsend if Muniz was injured, she told them that she bit his finger because he put it in her mouth. Townsend added that Muniz trapped her inside a room but would not state how she escaped it. Officers later spoke with Muniz, who also said that he got into a physical altercation with Townsend. Muniz informed officers that Townsend was a recovering alcoholic, and he saw her drinking that night. Muniz stated that when he confronted her, an argument ensued.
