He said that day they’d argued over him using her car but he denied any physical violence. His girlfriend told police he “has a history of drug use and recently she found a baggie of methamphetamine in her home,” so she confronted him about it and he claimed “it was for weight loss and better sex.” She said the male “does not work and does not have a vehicle and has been using apps like OnlyFans and Tinder” so when she got home from work he’d wanted to take her car, but she told him no “due to his behavior and drug use.” She said he was upset, and they argued again and he “threatened to kill everyone in the home,” telling police he’d been physically violent with her in recent weeks, but she hadn’t reported it She said she didn’t want to pursue charges. He denied threatening her or being violent.

Tiff: Someone reported a couple pulling a wagon arguing in the 200 block of Commercial Street, Thursday.
