ASSAULT
March 13, 2025 – At approximately 11:13 pm while observing traffic at the city traffic circle, I was approached by Gabriel Batten who stated he had been assaulted.
Gabriel was visibly injured and upset. Gabriel was pacing and unable to focus on what I was saying to him. Gabriel continued to state that he, “has to do this. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.” Gabriel was bleeding from the mouth and had visible cuts to his left hand and arm. Gabriel also had a large blood stain on the right knee of his jeans. As Gabriel spoke with me, I also observed his face to be swollen and his nose to be possibly broken. I then requested P. O. Hall and P. O. Slade to the scene.
Upon their arrival, I was able to speak with Gabriel who was now sitting down. Gabriel stated that he and his girlfriend, Cara Wooten, had been in the parking lot behind 308 S Broadway Street; Danny’s Place, when they saw my cruiser. At this time, P. O. Slade went to speak with Cara. Gabriel began explaining this incident. Gabriel stated that he and Cara had been drinking inside of Danny’s. He stated that approximately 20 minutes prior to him speaking with me, he and Cara went out the front door of Danny’s to smoke. Gabriel stated that once the two were outside, he recognized another male to be Cara’s ex-boyfriend, Paul Daughtery, whom she has a CPO (Civil Protection Order) against. Gabriel stated he told Paul to leave because he was violating Cara’s CPO. Gabriel stated that Paul then tackled him onto the sidewalk and began punching him. Gabriel stated that other customers inside the bar then broke up the fight and Paul left on foot. Gabriel stated he believed Paul walked across the street to 319 S Broadway #A to stay with Gary Skaggs.
Upon speaking with Cara, she stated that upon seeing Paul she told him that he was not supposed to be around her. Cara stated that Paul just continued to look at her. Cara stated that Paul then approached Gabriel first and said, “Fuck you bitch. ” Cara stated that Gabriel then told Paul to leave reference to the CPO, and Paul then hit Gabriel and pulled him to the ground. Cara stated that the two were then fighting while on the sidewalk as she went to get help from inside the bar. Cara stated Paul then took off on foot, possibly headed to 315 Cypress Street where he stays with Chaz Teodore.
While Cara and Gabriel filled out written statement forms, I made contact with the staff at Danny’s. Upon speaking with Marcy Samples, who was the bartender this evening, she stated that while inside the business, she heard a loud thump and came outside to see what was happening. Marcy stated that she then saw Paul on top of Gabriel while other patrons broke the fight up. Marcy stated that Danny’s does not have cameras outside of the business and was unable to contact management. I also spoke with Madyson Ritter who was also inside during this incident. Madyson stated that when she came out of the bar, she saw Paul on top of Gabriel while Gabriel was bleeding. Madyson stated that Paul was the aggressor and started that fight.
Upon officers making contact with Gary Skaggs at his residence, he stated Paul had shown up after the fight but that Gary told him to leave. Gary allowed officers to search his residence to confirm Paul was not inside. Officers then arrived at 315 Cypress Street where Paul is known to stay with Chaz. Upon officer arrival, a male subject matching Paul’s description could be seen in the upstairs window moving the curtains multiple times to look at us. Dispatch was able to make contact with Chaz by telephone who advised he was not home and that Paul occasionally stays overnight. Chaz refused to come and allow officers to search the residence. After multiple attempts, the male inside the residence refused to open the door or speak with us.
