21-year-old Jalen Jewell was involved in a domestic altercation with his juvenile brother at an Airways Circle apartment residence on June 12th. When officers arrived on the scene, they attempted to speak with Jewell, but he refused. Officers then spoke with their mother, Marquita Jewell, who told officers that Jalen and the juvenile had gotten into a verbal argument that had been going on all day. Marquita also informed the officers that Jalen became furious and started yelling at the juvenile. She decided to call the police after she saw Jalen telling the juvenile to put on his shoes and go outside so they could fight. Marquita told officers that she did not know if they would have fought but stated she separated the two by moving the juvenile into her bedroom until police arrived. Officers then spoke with the juvenile, who claimed the argument started over a girl and that Jalen approached him and told him to put his shoes on so they could go outside and fight, which placed him in fear of injury. After a while, officers then spoke with Jalen, who admitted to making the statement to his brother, telling officers he had the intention to fight with his brother outside the residence. Due to the statements made, officers deemed Jalen to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for domestic assault.
