33-year-old Joshua Dycus was involved in a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Latraysa Ussery, at their Lincoln Drive residence on July 11th. On July 24th, officers received a call from Ussery stating that Dycus was sitting outside of their home selling drugs. When officers arrived and spoke with Ussery, she told them that Dycus had assaulted her on the 11th. She stated that the incident started when Dycus came home from his son’s football game and accused her of stealing $30. An argument ensued where Dycus, at some point, grabbed a cord from a radio, wrapped it around her neck, and tightened it.
Ussery reported that she had also been punched in the face. Initially, officers were unable to observe any visible injuries. However, Ussery provided a video that clearly showed her with a bloody nose, showing evidence of the incident. When officers spoke with Dycus, he told them he had been giving Ussery money to help her stay afloat. He stated that once he stopped, she got angry with him. Despite Joshua Dycus insisting he never laid a hand on Ussery, authorities promptly arrested him and charged him with aggravated domestic assault on July 24th.
