UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO ADVISED THAT WHILE IN HER ROOM, AT A STUDY DESK, THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS MARLINDA SANDERS, ENTERED THE ROOM, YELLING AND SCREAMING ABOUT A PREVIOUS INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED. THE VICTIM RAISED HER HANDS TO KEEP THE DEFENDANT FROM COMING ANY CLOSER. WITH HER RIGHT HAND, THE DEFENDANT THEN STRUCK THE VICTIM, STRIKING HER ON HER HANDS, NOSE AND LIP. I SPOKE WITH THE WITNESS WHO CORROBORATED THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE VICTIM. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO ADVISED SHE DID ENTER THE ROOM AND WAS QUESTIONING THE VICTIM ABOUT THE PRIOR INCIDENT THAT HAD HAPPENED. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE HAD NEVER STRUCK THE VICTIM. I OBSERVED THE VICTIM AND DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE MARKS ON HER NOSE OR HANDS BUT SHE DID HAVE A SMALL BUMP ON HER LIP.
