When Basiliere arrived he witnessed 37-year-old Wallace Brown trying to leave the scene in a silver car. Wallace was detained and the victim, 38-year-old Wyquita Brown told Basiliere to arrest her brother for hitting her in the face. Wyquita informed Basiliere that she and Wallace’s girlfriend had been out all night and when they got home, she and Wallace got into a verbal altercation, which led to a physical fight.

Wyquita reported Wallace shoved her back into her car. She said when she tried to get out again, Wallace pulled off her wig and punched her twice in the face. 

Wyquita had visible injuries and Wallace Brown was arrested for domestic battering and driving on a suspended driver’s license.
