After listening to what he said and what she said, a Jasonville police officer arrested both a man and woman allegedly engaged in a Sunday morning fight.

Albert Armond Shipley, 25, and Ashlea Irene Ovivion, 22, both of Jasonville, were booked into the Greene County Jail after Officer Ryan Van Horn of the Jasonville Police Department was dispatched to a domestic dispute at a home on North Lawton Street before 11 a.m. Sunday, August 5.

Shipley had called police to report Ovivion had hit him in the face while he was holding their small child.

Officer Van Horn briefly talked to both individuals and both indicated they had been battered by the other in the presence of the child.

Van Horn reported he had a cut to the inside of a lip and she had redness on the right side of her face and on her arm.

The child was left in the care of a family member and both were transported first to the Jasonville Police Department for interviews where both confirmed an argument started when they woke up late causing Ovivion to miss a job interview.

According to a probable cause affidavit prepared by Van Horn, he said she threw a fan at him and that she punched him in the mouth while he was holding their child, and she said he shoved her off the bed, later smacked her on the face and she punched him back.

In both cases, bond was set at $4,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. She has since been released after posting $400 cash. As of Wednesday morning, he had not posted bond and was still in jail.

Both appeared in Greene Superior Court at separate initial hearings on Tuesday and both were charged with domestic battery in the presence of a child, a Level 6 felony.
