42-year-old Jessica Washburn was involved in a domestic altercation with her ex-boyfriend and children’s father, Preston Thompson, at a Summitt Avenue residence on June 16th. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Washburn. She stated that when she and Chancellor Barker, her new boyfriend, arrived at the residence, they wanted to talk to her daughter and retrieve her daughter’s phone inside the residence. As Washburn entered the residence, Thompson walked outside and approached Barker to shake his hand. Barker then punched Thompson, and the two began fighting outside.
After this, Washburn and Coy Thompson, Preston’s brother, walked outside and witnessed the fight. Officers then met with Coy, who stated that he observed Washburn attempt to hit Preston several times and take off her shoe to hit him with it. Coy also claims that he thought he pulled Washburn away before she hit Preston with the shoe, but it is unknown if she struck Preston. Once Coy separated the parties, Washburn pushed Thompson again before she and Barker fled. Officers then made contact and spoke with Preston, who stated that he did feel assaulted by Washburn when asked if he felt assaulted by her. A warrant was issued, and Washburn was later found and taken into custody for domestic assault.
