Greenville Police Blotter
DOMESTIC: Officers were dispatched to the hospital in reference to a domestic violence/assault. The female victim had a swollen left eye, and she could barely hold it open. She also had blood running down from a cut on the top of her eye near the bridge of her nose. She said she showed up to her children’s fathers house to pick up her two kids. The victim said the father, Jesse York, was acting mean and hostile. He talked the victim into going into the residence to get her daughter who didn’t want to leave. Before she could find her daughter, she advised York “beat” her. A witness advised they had seen the two having a heated argument outside before going into the residence. A little while later, the witness said they saw the female running out, screaming, and holding her eye that had blood running down her face. When York is located, he will be issued citations for domestic violence and assault with both being a first degree misdemeanor.
