27-year-old Tleah Barnes had a domestic incident with her ex-boyfriend, Ronzell Paisley, at her Hicks Road apartment in the morning hours of May 17th. Paisley alerted the authorities, stating that he went to her unit to collect some of his belongings, and an argument ensued. During their dispute, he walked toward his car in the parking lot, and Barnes ran after him, causing him to retreat further. Then, Paisley said she opened his car door, grabbed a baseball bat, chasing him with it before throwing it and nearly hitting him. Afterward, she threw several items at Paisley, including a water bottle. Barnes then brought out a computer printer from her apartment and flung it on the hood of his car, damaging it as well as leaving a large dent in the driver’s side door. Then, Barnes grabbed a bottle of bleach and poured it into his car. Officers reviewed footage of the occurrence from an apartment camera, showing Paisley calling the police while attempting to get away from her. According to Barnes, Paisley banged on her door, trying to enter, but never “assaulted her,” adding that he had stayed at the residence several times before. When officers arrived, she appeared to have been trying to flee until finally stopping for them. Paisley advised police that he wanted to press charges. Barnes was then taken into custody for vandalism and aggravated assault.
