32-year-old Lucas McClain had an altercation with his boyfriend, Matthew Lee Harber, underneath the bridge on 8th Avenue South in the early hours of May 10th. Officers observed Harber in a prone position on the sidewalk outside Party Fowl without a shirt or shoes. Officers noticed Harber also had visible injuries on his neck, left shoulder, and elbow. Harber then stated that he and McClain argued over not having any cigarettes. During the argument, he said McClain “Raised his hand up like he was going to hit me, so I punched him three times on the head.” Then Harber said he was “taken to the ground by McClain, and he had his arms around my neck.” Harber added that McClain had physically abused him on several past occasions. When officers spoke with McClain, he stated that they had argued verbally, and when Harber started to walk away, he grabbed him. Harber then told them that he did not lose consciousness when McClain strangled him but threw all his stuff away and ran from him. Deputies located a couple also staying underneath the bridge, one of which was Renee Killburn, a witness. Killburn told officers that she had seen McClain “physically assaulting” Harber. McClain was taken into custody for aggravated assault.
