He stated his wife became upset and asked him to leave the room because he was smoking. He stated he and his wife began pushing and shoving each other. He was asked if he had punched or slapped his wife. The man stated "no."

Deputies interviewed the victim who corroborated her husband's story. She stated they were pushing and shoving each other. The deputy met with the reporting party again and asked who the aggressor was during the incident. The RP stated her father because he pushed her mother as she was trying to leave, the report states.

When the man arrived at the residence to talk with his mother about the issue, she and him got into a verbal altercation about the title of the residence. The wife of the man stated she attempted to interject into the conversation. She stated the suspect said: "Hey little girl. If I have to talk s**t to you, I will."

Deputies learned the son then got into his mother's face and demanded that she not talk down to his wife. The man said his mother hit him twice with her right hand on the left side of his face. The suspect was interviewed and initially said her son head butted her, however, there was no bruising on her indicating she was hit, the report states.
