*I look at Lt*
'well what I witnessed was him picking up the little girl & throwing her into the truck here & the female trying to grab the child out of the vehicle, that is when I started to run over here. From that point when I called out I witnessed him turn around & hit the female in the face a couple of times then hit her in the stomach, so I came up & announced police stop 2 different times & him still hitting her I knew I was going hands on with him I figured if I got him backed up a couple of steps he would see me & not her & would stop but he went hands on with me, I attempted to draw my spray but he started trying to grab for my gun, so I went to the ground to cover it & that is when he started to place his hands around my neck & squeez & he did this for approximately about a minute even when he was doing this I tried to reach for my tazer & he would put his elbow into my arms preventing me from pulling it. I seen lafferty pull up so I went to the next best thing karate & when I seen him reach for his knife on his left side I broke his arm or dislocated it. I think we are going to need pictures of my neck & her face & his hands. I did see her walking out of the courthouse when I was walking in & he was not to far behind her when he was exiting so my only guess is they had came from court & he did not like the judgement of the case that they were in there on'
*I key up the mic*
"1158 dispatch, request ems code 2 for eval of female with trauma from assault to the face"
*I walk over to my patrol car & pop my trunk & grab the instant ice packs from my gear bag, I walk over to the female & activate it & hand it to her*
'here put this on your face until ems arrives, what happended here?
female: 'I filed for divorce & it went through today'
'ok, who is he to you?
female: 'he is the father of our daughter & my now ex husband, it was just finalized a little while ago'
'ok, does he have a history of domestic abuse & being physical?
female: 'yes sir, last time about 2 weeks ago he put me in the hospital for 2 days, but I signed myself out & grabbed my daughter, I filed the paperwork & the clerk put it through in a hurry thus while it was finalized for the divorce today'
'ok, what is your name?
female: 'Maria Smith'
'ok, give me your license'
