A Bloomfield woman, who called police and claimed two other people attacked her, is the one being summoned into court on a preliminary charge of domestic battery.  

Brianna N. Byers, 21, Bloomfield, called the sheriff’s office around 3:39 a.m. on August 8 to report that her sister had just attacked her and she was now at Eastern Heights Utilities.

Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Davis Aerne was dispatched.

But a man then also called the sheriff’s department to report Byers had attacked him and busted his lip during an altercation, then she took off on foot.

Deputy Aerne went to the utility office to talk to Byers who allegedly said she got into an argument with her husband and it became a physical fight. She said they are not together as a couple but she was staying with him for a while. She also said she is pregnant and that she’d gotten into another argument with her sister when her sister arrived at the man’s residence and that her sister had hit her twice in the arm and pulled her hair.

Deputy Aerne said he observed a slight redness to her chest but could not locate any other signs of injury from being hit.

When the officer talked to the man and the sister, the man said Byers had hit him five or six times then started to throw things, that she has hit him before but this was the first time he called law enforcement. He said he did not hit her.

Both accused the other of hitting or swinging but the deputy reported the man had a small laceration to the inside of his bottom lip.

The sister said it was Byers who tried to hit her but didn’t hit hard enough. She said she didn’t hit Byers but admitted she did pull her hair.

Nobody was arrested that night but a criminal case has since been filed against Byers.

Byers has been summoned to appear in Greene Superior Court in September on a preliminary charge of domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor.
