He also claimed the cuts and bleeding knuckles they saw on his hand were old injuries and said they'd "been dating for four months" and she has several items at his residence. They spoke to the woman again, but said that time she told them she "didn't know where the marks on her neck were from" and advised she is not dating the man but "stays there for two weeks at a time to clean the residence," insisting they do not have an intimate relationship. When advised they needed to separate for the night police said she insisted on staying at the residence and told them she doesn't want to pursue charges.
