21-year-old Tylan Omari Chism had two altercations with a live-in caretaker, Mr. Long, at their Marthas Chapel Road group home on June 7th. Officers first responded to the residence around 7:26 a.m. Officers spoke with Mr. Long, who stated he and Chism argued over him lighting a cigarette inside the house, which is prohibited. Then, Long said, during the dispute, Chism shoved him, but when officers questioned Chism about it, he denied any physical contact. Around 10:57 a.m., the police were called back to the group home. When police arrived, Long advised them that another argument ensued after Chism used the stove to light a cigarette. Long stated Chism punched him in the face twice. Again, Chism denied the claims but had an inconsistent story about what happened. While speaking with officers, he admitted to pushing Long. Chism was taken into custody for two counts of assault.
