The officer knocked on the door and when no one answered, they entered the home. Police found the woman "cleaning up" from where she had been allegedly been beat by Wilson. The woman had bruises on her arms, chest and injuries to her legs.

The woman told police Wilson was mad at her and threw her off the porch, then threw her on the ground, punched her in the head and bit her breast.

When she put up her hands to block the blows to her face and head, Wilson began punching her hands.

The woman told police she tried to leave the home the day before the attack, but Wilson wouldn't let her. On that day Wilson allegedly punched her in the arm and stood in the doorway blocking the woman from leaving.

The woman told police that every time she attempted to leave Wilson would force her back into the home by shoving, punching her or blocking her path from leaving.
