Police responded and spoke with Shelley Moore, who said she and Casey were in the garage arguing, and she became agitated, so she threw a chair to the ground and headed back inside.

Police observed a large dent in the pot, and the handle was broken. Moore had a large knot above her right eye and a small cut above her left.
