22-year-old Jevaughn Green was involved in a domestic altercation with his husband, Threishaun Wade-Burnett, at a Cottage View Lane residence on July 3rd. Ameeka Burnett, a witness, notified officers that Green and her son were in an altercation at the residence, which was heard by dispatch in the background. When officers arrived on the scene, they noticed Threishaun bleeding from the right side of his head before speaking with him. Threishaun told officers he was at the location to collect his belongings because he and Green were ending their relationship. Officers noticed Ameeka loading moving boxes and other items into a vehicle before speaking with her. Ameeka claimed she was at the residence and saw Green provoking a conflict with instigative comments. Ameeka also stated that she noticed Green put his phone to his ear and purposely bumped into Threishaun, telling him, “Don’t hit me.” Ameeka claimed she had foreseen something terrible would happen, so she contacted officers for help.
Ameeka informed the officers that Green then attacked Threishaun by pushing and hitting him with his hands before grabbing a heavy object and striking him with it. Officers then asked Threishaun what had happened. Threishaun stated he saw Green grab a golden metal decorative elephant that weighed 3 to 5 pounds and begin swinging it at his head. Threishaun, however, attempted to stay away from the elephant but stated that he was struck at least once in the head during the assault. Threishaun then grabbed Green and wrestled him onto the couch to hold him down in self-defense. The two were separated by neighbors and family before the officers’ arrival. Officers noticed redness and swelling on numerous parts of Threishaun’s body. Officers then saw the abrasions and lacerations to Threishaun’s forehead and elbow. Ameeka told officers that she observed Threishaun bleeding from the head and Green holding the golden elephant in his hands. Threishaun and Ameeka identified the elephant the officers, which was sitting out of place on the kitchen counter, as the weapon that was used during the assault. Due to the witness observations and Threishaun’s injuries, Green was subsequently taken into custody for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
