26-year-old Samantha Fitzpatrick was involved in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, John Parker, at his McCan Drive residence on April 9th. When officers arrived, they made contact with Parker, who stated that Fitzpatrick assaulted him. Parker noted that Fitzpatrick became extremely belligerent, so he was trying to calm her down. While trying to calm her down, Fitzpatrick left the house and walked down the street while yelling. Parker told Fitzpatrick to come back so they could “talk.” Parker then sat in his vehicle while he waited for her to return.
When Fitzpatrick returned, Fitzpatrick threw “an empty beer can” at Parker through his open car window, causing an abrasion under Parker’s left eye. After doing so, Fitzpatrick reportedly walked around Parker’s car and started “attacking him.” Parker told officers he put his arms up to “create space” between them, but while doing so, Fitzpatrick “bit” him, causing a small abrasion and broken skin.
During the investigation, Fitzpatrick was not cooperative with officers regarding the details of the incident despite her being the one who called 911. After a while, Fitzpatrick mentioned several previous arguments involving her and Parker but did not elaborate further. Fitzpatrick also denied that anything physical occurred. Samantha Fitzpatrick was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault on April 10th.
