ON 102409 AT APPROXIMATELY 2304 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO EAST SWEET WATER DRIVE IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE THAT WAS IN PROGRESS. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT APPROXIMATELY 2312 HOURS I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT IDENTIFIED AS MR VINCENZO MINELLA, WHO STATED THAT HE HAD CAME TO HIS RESIDENCE TO PICK UP SOME BELONGINGS AND MET THE VICTIM AT THE DOOR (THE DOOR WAS LATER TO BE DETERMINED THE INNER GARAGE DOOR WHICH LED TO THE INSIDE OF THE RESIDENCE.) HE STATED THAT UPON MEETING THE VICTIM AT THIS LOCATION HE ASKED THE VICTIM TO STEP ASIDE SO THAT HE COULD COME IN HIS HOME. HE STATED THAT AT THAT TIME THE VICTIM PUSHED HIM IN THE FACE AND SHUT THE DOOR. I DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF INJURY ON THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT ALSO STATED HE HAD A WITNESS. WITNESS ONE STATED HE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY IN THE AREA OF THE OPEN GARAGE DOOR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE HEARD THE VERBAL ALTERCATION AND SAW THE VICTIM PUNCH THE DEFENDANT IN THE FACE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO WAS INSIDE THE RESIDENCE, AND WHO IS RESIDING AT THAT LOCATION, WHO STATED THAT HE CAME HOME FROM WORK AND WENT TO RELAX AND WAIT FOR HIS WIFE TO COME HOME. ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES AFTER HE WAS HOME SOMEONE STARTED BANGING ON THE DOOR. AT WHICH TIME THE VICTIM THOUGHT IT WAS HIS WIFE SO HE GOT UP AND WENT TO ANSWER THE DOOR. WHEN HE DID, HE SAW THAT IT WAS THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS INTOXICATED AND THREATENED HIM. HE THEN STATED AT THAT TIME AS HE WAS STANDING IN THE DOOR WAY OF THE DOOR THAT LED FROM THE RESIDENCE TO THE GARAGE, THE DEFENDANT SHOVED HIM WITH OPEN HANDS IN HIS CHEST AREA AND CALLED HIM A "MOTHER FUCKER, WHO WAS FUCKING HIS WIFE." THE VICTIM THEN STATED THAT HE THEN PUSHED THE VICTIM BACK SO THAT HE COULD CLOSE THE DOOR. HE STATED AS HE WAS CLOSING THE DOOR THE DEFENDANT GRABBED A DUM BELL OFF THE WORK BENCH THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE GARAGE AND THREW IT AT HIM. HOWEVER THE DOOR WAS ALREADY CLOSED THERE FORE THE DUM BELL HIT THE DOOR. I DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS OF INJURY ON THE VICTIM OR ANY DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE DOOR. I THEN SPOKE WITH ANOTHER RESIDENT OF THE HOME. WITNESS NUMBER TWO, WHO STATED THAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED HE WAS IN THE KITCHEN AT THE BAR WHERE HE HAD A CLEAR VIEW OF THE DOOR WHICH LED TO THE GARAGE, WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD KNOCK AT THE DOOR. AT WHICH TIME HE SAW THE VICTIM ANSWER THE DOOR AND WORDS WERE EXCHANGED AMONGST ONE ANOTHER AND WITNESS TWO SAW THE DEFENDANT SHOVE THE VICTIM, AND THEN THE VICTIM SHOVE THE DEFENDANT BACK, AT WHICH TIME THE DOOR WAS SHUT BY THE VICTIM. I ALSO SPOKE WITH WITNESS THREE, WHO ALSO COLLABORATED THE EVENTS. WITNESS THREE WHO IS ALSO THE DEFENDANT'S SPOUSE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAS NOT LIVED AT THE RESIDENCE SINCE 072609. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AGAIN WHO WAS OUT IN THE DRIVE WAY AT WHICH TIME I TOLD THE DEFENDANT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY.
