Male attacks ‘friend ‘after refusing to leave residence
On May 6, law enforcement responded to 1980 Briarcliff Road in reference to an assault. Law enforcement met with a witness and the victim who stated their friend, Dylan Case, had attacked the victim after being told to leave. Reportedly, the victim and Case had argued throughout the day which eventually led to the victim asking Case to leave. Case refused to leave and grabbed the victim by her thumb and bent it backwards. The witness stated that he confronted Case and Case placed a set of handcuffs around his knuckles before approaching the victim again. The witness reported that he was not going to let any more harm come to the victim, so he defended her by striking Case in the face with a closed fist. An officer noted seeing bruising and swelling on the victim’s thumb. Other officers located Case a short distance away near the edge of Briarcliff Road. Case stated he was attacked by Lawrence for no reason but was unable to explain why the victim’s thumb was injured, and a set of handcuffs were located in a case on Case’s belt. Case was then placed under arrest for battery and transported to the Baldwin County Jail. Both Campbell and Case were checked and cleared by EMS on scene.
