30-year-old Michael Criss was involved in a domestic altercation with his roommate Georgia Gauker at an Andrew Jackson Way residence on August 4th. When officers arrived, they spoke with Gauker, who said she argued with Criss over a lost phone and future living arrangements. Gauker informed officers that the argument occurred inside the residence. She added that Criss became upset throughout the argument and got into her face. Gauker also claimed that Criss shoved her, which caused her to fall. Officers noticed that Gauker had a visible injury to her elbows, armpits, and ankles.
Gauker claimed the injuries were all a result of being shoved by Criss. Officers then spoke with Criss, who said he was arguing with Gauker about moving to a different apartment when her lease expired. However, Criss says that no physical altercation occurred and that Gauker was looking for a phone inside the apartment for an extended period of time. Criss admitted to officers that he did get upset and yell at Gauker. Due to the statements made and injuries sustained by Gauker, Criss was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
