Today, Doe said George assaulted him because he wouldn’t give him his marijuana pipe. According to Doe, George spilled it and then punched his lights out. Doe said George punched him six times and threw him back to the ground, where he kicked him twice in the ribs and ran off. Doe hit his head on the ground when he was thrown down. Doe commented that the punches were hard. Doe stated that he had a major headache but would be “ok.” Doe said George then ran towards the library. 

According to officers, Doe identified 27-year-old George Doney accurately. An officer responded to the library, where she found Doney running down a flight of stairs toward her. The officer detained him in handcuffs.
