29-year-old Tatyana Pippins was involved in a domestic altercation with her music partner, Joshua Rudd, while at his William Turner Parkway apartment on July 20th. When the officers arrived, they spoke with Rudd, who explained that he and Pippins were business partners in a music venture and had a venue event coming up. Rudd mentioned receiving multiple texts from Pippins that morning, leading to an argument where Pippins threatened to have people come to his house. Concerned, Rudd went to Pippins’ apartment on William Turner Parkway to retrieve his belongings. Rudd waited for Pippins to let him inside, offering to stay outside to avoid further conflict. Rudd claimed he started collecting his music equipment and began looking for his laptop. Rudd said the argument escalated when Pippins pushed him while he was searching for his laptop. Pippins then punched him in the face when he peeked inside her room. Rudd ignored the punch, but Pippins proceeded to punch him two more times in the face, causing an injury to his upper lip. Rudd informed the officers that he was able to retrieve his laptop. Rudd then proceeded to show officers text messages between him and Pippins that occurred after the incident. In the messages, Pippins admits to the assault, saying, “I apologize.” A warrant was issued for Pippins’ arrest, and she was later found and taken into custody for domestic assault on July 30th.
