When they arrived, they spoke with Victoria, who told them that she did not see the attack but that her daughter and Sierra Blount, a witness, said Charles had punched her.

Blount added that she heard Victoria and Charles arguing, so she went to see what was happening. Victoria stated this was when she saw Charles punch his 13-year-old sister in the face.
