23-year-old Selena Watson was involved in a domestic disturbance with the father of her child, Michael Cantrell, at his Freeman Hollow Road residence on August 6th. When officers came into contact with Cantrell, he informed them that Watson had come to his house to visit their daughter. Cantrell stated that while Watson was there, she attempted to grab their child while he still had her in his arms. Once Watson continued to grab at their daughter, he stated he tried to leave through the front door, but Watson was holding on to his shirt, causing them to fall.
Cantrell provided officers with a video of Watson holding onto him by the back of his collar as well as pushing and pulling on him as he left. The video also showcased Watson continuing to pull on Cantrell as he attempted to stand up. Once Cantrell was off the ground, he reported that when he tried to get into his car, Watson stepped in, prevented him from shutting the door, and bit him on his arm. After observing the visible injuries on Cantrell as well as Watson admitting to biting Cantrell during questioning, Watson was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault.
