According to Sgt. Brian Humphreys, as stated in the report, the incident shown in the video bore enough corroborative elements to justify the subsequent filing of charges.

Humphreys also pointed out that the notion of women as always the victims and men as always the aggressors in incidents of domestic violence “should not be the case.”

“Regardless of who commits a crime, regardless of their sex, race or their socioeconomic conditions, we’re going to try to arrest the person who committed the crime,” Humphreys explained.
