OfficerID: Patlaj, Original Narrative On 11-11-12, at 0310 hours, I, Officer Patlan, #24, responded to South Hall in reference to an assault no longer in progress. Investigation to follow. Page: 6 of 11
OfficerID: Patlaj, Supplement Investigative Narrative Upon arrival I met with the victim, Marin Hartfield, in the office of the Hall Coordinator for South Hall where she was waiting with student staff members from Residential Life. Hartfield was visibly distraught and was crying. Her face was flush and her make-up was running as if she had been crying for some time. I sat next to her and asked her to explain what had happened. Hartfield began by stating that her roommate is a close friend that she has known for many years and that she learned that her roommate s boyfriend, Dorial Green-Beckham, was cheating on her with other women. Hartfield stated that she told her friend about Green-Beckham seeing other women and that he apparently found out that she had been the one to tell his girlfriend about it. Hartfield then explained that earlier that morning she had returned to her building, South Hall, with her roommates and walked up to the second floor where she met up with some friends who were hanging out in the hallway. She stated that they were near Green-Beckham s room and that he saw her and immediately confronted her about the fact that she had told on him. Hartfield stated that Green-Beckham began to push her while cursing at her and telling her that what went on between him and her roommate was none of her business. Hartfield stated that he called her a dumb bitch and kept pushing her while in the hallway. Hartfield stated that she told Green-Beckham to stop and she looked around for her roommates but they were gone. She stated that she then left and went up to her room on the third floor where she assumed she would find her roommates. Hartfield said that she walked up to her room, #3520, and realized that she could not get in because she did not have her ID card. She then knocked on the door but no one answered. Hartfield stated that she returned to the second floor to talk to her friend Kayla Funk who lives two doors down from Green-Beckham. Hartfield stated that as she walked past Green-Beckham s room he saw her again and again confronted her and began pushing her. She stated that Green-Beckham told her to stay out of his business. Hartfield stated that during this incident she somehow found herself inside the doorway to his room. She stated that Green-Beckham pushed her into the door frame behind her several times before his roommate, Michael Scherer, stepped in and separated the two. Hartfield stated that during the second encounter she did push Green-Beckham several times while they engaged in a verbal argument. Hartfield advised that when Scherer got involved Green-Beckham backed off and she left, walking back up to her floor. She stated that on the third floor she found a Residential Life student staff member who she informed about the altercation. Throughout our conversation there was a moderate odor of intoxicants coming from Hartfield s person. I asked Hartfield is she was injured and she stated that she only had some redness on her arms from where Green-Beckham had grabbed her and pushed her. I asked her if she thought she needed medical attention and she stated that she did not. I asked Hartfield if Green-Beckham had hit her in any way with his hands or fists and she stated that he had not, that he had only pushed her several times. I observed some faint redness on Hartfield s upper arms and a triangular scratch on the inside of her lower left arm. I photographed the marks on her skin and the scratch on her arm. I also noticed that she had some redness on her upper chest area, at the base of her neck. I asked Hartfield about that and she stated that Green-Beckham did not go near her neck or throat; that the redness in that area must have been from her crying. I later saved the digital photos taken to the evidence server under this report number. I asked Hartfield who had witnessed the assault so that I could speak with them and she stated that the only people she knows that saw anything were Scherer and her friend Funk. She stated that she was skeptical about what they might tell me because Green-Beckham was popular and everyone loved him. Hartfield stated that even her friend Funk would probably tell me that Green-Beckham had done nothing wrong because he plays football. I then asked Hartfield if she was comfortable going back to her room for the night and she replied yeah, I m fine. I told her that a female Residential Life staff member would walk her up to her room while I attempted contact with Funk and Scherer. I left Hartfield with a business card and the case number and instructed her not to talk about the incident with anyone and to call police if she had any problems in the building. I then walked up to the second floor to speak to Funk. I knocked on her door several times but no one answered. A moment later she appeared from the stairwell on the north end of the hallway. Another Residential Life student staff Page: 7 of 11
member that was with me, Sean Noble, pointed Funk out to me. I asked to speak to her and showed her into a nearby study room. I asked Funk if she knew why I was there and she rolled her eyes and stated that she knew. I asked her to explain to me what she saw and she stated that it all began in the lobby area of the building. Funk stated that she saw Hartfield in the lobby, near the elevator, yelling at Green-Beckham because she is very protective of her friend and roommate who Green-Beckham is dating. Funk advised that because of that and because Hartfield had been drinking that night she was yelling at Green-Beckham and was trying to get to him. Funk advised that Green- Beckham was trying to use the staircase to go up to his room on the second floor but that Hartfield continued to yell and accuse him of different things. Funk stated that when Hartfield got close to Green-Beckham he put his arm up in a defensive angle to keep Hartfield away from him. Funk stated that at no time did Green-Beckham ever strike or push Hartfield while she followed him up the stairs. Funk advised that Green-Beckham did also say some things back to Hartfield and that the argument did go both ways at times. She advised that when they reached the second floor Hartfield walked past Green-Beckham and continued up to the third floor while he entered the second floor hallway and walked to his room. Funk advised that she returned to her room because her roommate needed her to let them into their room. After doing that she stated that she went back down to a lounge on the first floor where she was talking to some friends. Funk stated that several minutes later she went up to the third floor to check on Hartfield and saw Hartfield talking to a female Residential Life staff member and that Hartfield asked Funk to tell the staff member about Green-Beckham hitting her. Funk advised that she told the staff member that it did not happen. I then knocked on the door to room 2480 where Scherer and Green-Beckham live. Scherer answered the door and I informed him that I needed to speak with both he and his roommate separately. I asked if his roommate was in the room and he indicated that he was. Green-Beckham appeared from the back of the room and I instructed him to wait in the room while I spoke to Scherer. I walked with Scherer to the same study room where I had spoken to Funk earlier. I asked Scherer if he had witnessed any part of the altercation between his roommate and Hartfield and he stated that he had. Scherer advised that he was asleep in bed when Green-Beckham arrived home late. Within minutes of his roommate's arrival Scherer heard someone banging on their door very loudly. He then heard a female voice yelling and the loud banging continued. Scherer stated that he answered the door and saw that it was Hartfield who was yelling and banging on the door. Scherer stated that Hartfield asked to talk to his roommate but Scherer would not allow it. He stated that he then saw Green-Beckham go through their bathroom, into their suite mate s room and begin to peek out of their door into the hallway. Scherer advised that Hartfield saw Green-Beckham and immediately walked over to the other door and began to yell at him and accuse him of cheating on her friend. Scherer stated that Hartfield was obviously intoxicated and that she was cursing at his roommate and trying to force her way into the room. Scherer stated that Hartfield even pushed his roommate several times in an apparent attempt to enter the room. Scherer stated that Green-Beckham was relatively calm about the situation at first and told Hartfield to go back to her room and go to bed. Hartfield continued to yell at him and kept trying to enter the room while Green-Beckham tried to close the door. Scherer stated that after a while Green-Beckham seemed to get annoyed and began to argue with Hartfield. Scherer stated that his roommate talking back to Hartfield was not helping things and that at that time he exited his room, walked out in to the hallway and told Hartfield to leave. She did not. Scherer stated that he then tried talking to Green-Beckham and get him to ignore Hartfield and close the door. Scherer stated that as he did this another subject, Gerrion Grim, walked over and tried to help. Scherer stated that Grim was trying to pull Hartfield away from their room and convince her to go back to her own room. I asked Scherer if Grim was a friend of Hartfield s and he stated that he did not know if they were friends but that it seemed obvious that they were acquainted. Scherer stated that even though Grim was pulling Hartfield away she continued to yell at Green-Beckham and was pulling away from Grim. He stated that he heard Hartfield say that she was going to call the police. Scherer stated that after a couple of minutes of this Hartfield finally left and he and his roommate went back to their room but that Green-Beckham was clearly bothered by the whole situation. Scherer stated that they had not seen Hartfield again since that time. Scherer also stated that this was not the first time that Hartfield had yelled at Green-Beckham after she had been Page: 8 of 11
drinking. He stated that it had happened a few times before but that he was not sure why. I then made contact with Grim and spoke to him in the study room. I asked Grim to tell me about the incident involving Hartfield. Grim began by telling me that he was on the second floor down a different hallway from where Green-Beckham lives when he heard a female yelling loudly. He stated that he was with some friends in a lounge when he heard the yelling and that he did not think much of it until he heard the female say Green-Beckham s name. Grim stated that he was the only person in his group to leave the lounge to see what was happening. He stated that as he approached the stairwell near the elevator he saw Hartfield standing in the hallway outside Green-Beckham s door yelling at him. He stated that he recognized Hartfield and saw that she was trying to enter the room while Green-Beckham was attempting to close the door and repeatedly telling Hartfield to leave. Grim stated that he then heard Hartfield say that Green-Beckham hit her and that he was denying it and again asked her to leave. Grim stated that Hartfield continued to try to force her way into Green-Beckham s room and he was pushing her hands away from the door so he could close it. Grim advised that he then approached Hartfield and tried to talk to her and pull her away from the door but that she insisted on staying and yelling at Green-Beckham and would not stop. Grim then advised that as he got Hartfield away from the door she stated get my phone, I m calling the police and then said he hit me. After a moment Hartfield stopped yelling and went upstairs. Grim stated that he did not see Hartfield again after that. I then returned to Green-Beckham s room where he was still waiting. He spoke with me in the study room and advised that this had happened before. I asked him to tell me about that night s incident and he stated that it started when he entered South Hall through a side door and was walking to the stairwell nearest the elevator on his way to his room. He advised that he saw Hartfield in the lobby nearby and that he was afraid that if she saw him she would start something. Green-Beckham stated that when Hartfield saw him she confronted him near the stairwell and started to yell at him about what he had done to her friend, his girlfriend. He advised that Hartfield actually blocked his path up the stairs and would not move out of the way. Green-Beckham stated that he tried to go around her but she kept getting in his way while continuing to curse and yell at him. Green-Beckham stated that he told Hartfield to stay out of his business and to leave him alone but she would not. He stated that he kept walking up the steps, got around Hartfield and went to his room. He stated that he did not see where Hartfield had gone at that time. Green-Beckham stated that a few minutes later Hartfield returned to the second floor and started banging on his door very loudly and yelling at him again. He stated that he came out to tell Hartfield to go to her room and she pushed him while trying to force her way into his room. He stated that they argued for a moment and that he had to hold the door partially shut to keep Hartfield out. Green-Beckham stated that he did not push or strike Hartfield at any time and that he just wanted her to leave. He advised that Hartfield made a comment about getting him in trouble and calling the police because he had hit her. Green-Beckham stated that he told her that she knew it was not true, that he had not done anything wrong. He stated that it took a baseball player to pull her away from his door for Hartfield to finally leave him alone and that he had not seen her since. I advised Green-Beckham that I may have some follow-up questions for him at a later time and our contact ended. There are no other known witnesses at this time. A follow-up interview with Hartfield will be conducted at a later date. Page: 9 of 11
OfficerID: Patlaj, Supplement Investigative Narrative I received an email message from Marin Hartfield, on 04-08-14, in which she stated that she would like to review this incident report due to the recent allegations against Dorial Green-Beckham. She requested the case number and information on how to obtain a copy of the report. She further inquired about the pictures that were taken of her and submitted with this report. In response to her message I contacted her by phone this evening. Hartfield answered and I identified myself as a police officer with the University of Missouri Police Department. I informed her that I was responding to the email she had sent me and asked what questions she had or how I could help her. Hartfield stated that she did not have any questions and that she no longer wanted a copy of the report. I offered to give her the case number and the extension to our records office but she stated that she did not want it and that she could look it up herself if she changed her mind. There was a long pause of silence and I briefly thought Hartfield had hung up the phone. I asked if she was still on the line and Hartfield responded. I asked what else I could help her with and again offered to answer any questions she had and she initially stated that there was nothing else. Hartfield then said that she did have a question. She asked if the media had access to the report and if they could obtain a copy. I informed her that yes, media personnel could ask for copies of our reports in accordance with Sunshine laws. Hartfield then asked if the media would also have access to any photos taken along with the report and I informed her that I did not know if their requests extended to any photographs taken. I then referred her to speak to a supervisor and offered to give her the name and number of someone to call who could better answer her question. Hartfield stated that it was not necessary and stated "I'm good" and the call ended. The following day I contacted Hartfield again because it seemed that the nature of our earlier telephone conversation, in which Hartfield seemed preoccupied, did not seem in line with the tone of her email where she seemed to want certain information. I was able to reach Hartfield by phone and explained to her the reason for the second call. She again stated that she did not need any further information. I then questioned what had changed since she sent the email and she stated that because of the recent attention Green-Beckham was getting in the news, people were calling wanting to hear from her. Hartfield would not elaborate on who these "people" were. She stated that at first she was inclined to speak to some people but that she changed her mind after hearing about some of the negative attention other people involved with Green-Beckham were getting. I asked Hartfield if she had any questions about the incident she had reported and Hartfield stated that she did not. She stated that she knew that it was likely the people that talked to me about it probably lied for Green-Beckham to keep him out of trouble. I explained to her that I had spoken to several people and that they all had a similar account of the events from that night. I advised Hartfield that based on everyone's statements there was simply not enough evidence to support charging Green-Beckham with a crime. Hartfield stated that she understood and that she knew that I had spoken to the people who had been there but she again expressed her opinion that those people possibly lied. I asked Hartfield if she had any questions for me about any of part of this incident and she stated that she did not. I offered to give her the case number again for her reference but she again declined. Hartfield thanked me for calling and our contact ended. This report can now be inactivated. Page: 10 of 11
