Madeline Deyes says she had a dream about her 22-year-old boyfriend, Murphy Dean Reid, and when she told him about it, he assaulted her. Reid reportedly misunderstood or misinterpreted what she was telling about her dream and accused her of throwing “slick shots at him.” according to a police report. He became extremely upset, and Madeline retreated to the bedroom, confused by his reaction. Reid then followed her and used both hands to strangle her from the front until she had difficulty breathing. When she tried to fight him off, she says he headbutted her. He eventually stopped the assault and packed his things as she demanded he leaves. Medics transported Deyes to the hospital for her injuries, and a warrant was issued for Reid’s arrest, on which he was booked this week.
