19-year-old Jeante Lashawn Tate had an altercation with his girlfriend, Monique Austin, on February 14th. Officers were dispatched to a Whispering Oaks Place residence, where they spoke with Austin, who stated she and Tate argued over him making fun of her work on Instagram. Austin said he then started taking all her clothes out of her closet. Austin stated when she tried to stop him, Tate pushed her head, grabbed her iPhone 15, and threw it on the floor, causing the screen to shatter. Austin said the phone cost over $1,000 and that her friend tried to intervene, which sparked a scuffle between them and Tate. A warrant was issued for Tate’s arrest that day. Tate was taken into custody for vandalism, domestic assault, and not having a valid driver’s license on May 9th.
