In one event, the Victim reported that Griggs punched her in the face with closed fist, causing her to grab a cast iron pan to defend herself with. Griggs then punched her three to four more times with a closed fist in the head.
Later that day, Griggs grabbed the Victim by the throat, squeezing it, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Griggs was contacted and called out of a camper located to the east of the residence and arrested.

Please be careful - Who you let into your Life and who you bring around your Children - Have Respect for yourself and if you have Children - Think about their Happiness and their Welfare.
Quick to judgement when you don’t know either parties or the situation. Her parents are both drug users, and she has been known to use as well as being a heavy drinker. She has stabbed him twice, was arrested and released after 24 hrs. No other consequences. She has hit him with a pan previously. Though I do not believe in abuse of any kind, maybe just maybe the last hit was the one that was enough. Just because her statement says he did all of those things, does not mean it’s the truth. The report said he had no evidence of being hit, but that is not the truth. I would love to see the evidence of what she claimed.
