43-year-old Bobby Spires was involved in a domestic altercation with his wife, Davina Collier-Spires, at 101st Airborne Division Parkway on April 13th. Law enforcement received a call that several people were fighting on the side of the road near a black pickup truck. When officers contacted the couple, Bobby tried to explain the incident. Bobby stated that he was in the back seat of the vehicle when Davina reached into the back and punched him in the face. Bobby had a swollen cheek to corroborate his statement. Bobby then stated that the driver of the vehicle, his mother, pulled over, and he and Davina exited the car and struggled for custody of their juvenile daughter. While Officers questioned Bobby, they noticed he stated, “I had pulled over,” contradicting his claim that his mother was driving.
Officers then spoke with Davina, who said Bobby was driving the vehicle, not his mother. Davina stated that she was scared of how Bobby was driving and reached into the back to comfort their daughter. Davina also claims Bobby physically held her in the front and refused to pull over upon request. Davina then claims to have climbed in the back with the child, causing Bobby to pull over. Davina stated Bobby then opened the back door, pulled her out while she was holding their child, and threw her onto the grass. This caused multiple abrasions to Davina’s neck and arms. Bobby’s mother corroborated his statements. Officers then spoke with two witnesses on the scene who stated they observed the defendant pull the victim from the vehicle. Officers deemed Bobby to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for domestic assault.
