20-year-old Donterries Holloway was involved in numerous domestic altercations with Sadae Robinson, his girlfriend and roommate, while at their Claiborne Street residence on July 28th. When officers arrived, they spoke with Robinson, who initially claimed she wanted Holloway out of her home. Robinson added that there were no threats of violence or any physical violence. Holloway was at the residence looking for his phone, but eventually fled. This made Robinson upset, and she proceeded to change her story, claiming that Holloway had pushed her and grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her around the house. Officers noticed a hole in the front of her shirt that appeared ripped before she admitted it came from Holloway. Robinson had no injuries and informed officers that she wanted her house and car keys back from Holloway.
A few days later, on July 30th, Holloway had gotten into another domestic altercation with Robinson at the same residence. Camera footage shows the two arguing because Holloway would not return Robinson’s phone. The cameras also captured Holloway in the doorway, grabbing Robinson and pushing her to the ground. Holloway then proceeded to grab Robinson by the hair and drag her inside the residence. After this, Robinson pushed Holloway off of her before she knocked on the neighbor’s door. At this time, Holloway then went back out of the home and grabbed Robinson by the throat. However, after they struggle for a few seconds, he lets go of her throat and walks back inside the residence.
When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with Robinson and noticed her ripped shirt and that her face was starting to swell. When asked, She told officers that she had been strangled but did not lose consciousness and could breathe. Robinson also told officers that Holloway fled the scene before they arrived but claimed that Holloway had stolen her phone. Officers tracked and received the phone at a Dollar General on Lafayette Street. Footage from the dollar generator also shows Holloway in possession of the phone. There were several witnesses who all informed officers they saw Holloway grab and push Robinson to the ground. A warrant was issued, and Holloway was later found and taken into custody for domestic assault, aggravated assault, and property theft on July 31st.
