Alexis had called officers to inform them that Jerrion had pointed a gun and threatened to shoot her. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Alexis. She stated that her son, Jerrion, began to argue with her and call her obscenities. After this, Alexis told officers that she had taken Jerrion’s TV, which she had purchased for him. She stated that when he went to retrieve it, they began wrestling over the TV.

Officers then noticed red and bleeding scratches on Alexis’ arm. She told officers that the scratches came from Jerrion taking the TV from her. Alexis also said that she didn’t know if Jerrion had a weapon but had not seen one during the incident. Jerrion fled the scene before the officers’ arrival but was later found. When asked about the situation, Jerrion claimed that his mother pushed him. However, there were no injuries to him.
