Springdale police wrote in an affidavit he punched her in the right leg just above her knee, forcefully pulled her out of the car and threw her to the ground, according to the court document.
“The physical altercation occurred after a heated argument over ex-boyfriend Dayshawn Blair’s unfaithfulness which led to their breakup. A voluntary statement was later provided by (the victim) detailing the offense,” the affidavit states.
Blair’s public defender fought the charge on his behalf, arguing that he was defending himself.
Spurlock-Flowers was subpoenaed on Jan.10, 2023, to testify at his trial.
The case was dismissed a month later by Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Janaya Trotter Bratton.
Court records indicate the case was dismissed because of “DWP,” which stands for “Dismissed for Want of Prosecution.”
This phrase sometimes means the alleged victim pursuing the charge missed a court date and the case was dismissed.
Springdale police confirmed Friday Spurlock-Flowers didn’t show up in court to testify against Blair. She also called a detective before the court hearing and indicated she wanted to drop the charges, but he urged her not to.
The day before the assault incident, Blair was charged with criminal damaging or endangering by Cheviot police.
It happened on Darwin Avenue in Cheviot on Oct. 25, 2022, according to his criminal complaint. He was accused of sending someone a text claiming she stole money from him.
The victim wrote in an affidavit: “Once I replied and refused to pay (the) money he threatened to break my TV. I returned home from work once he said this to see that my TV was, in fact, destroyed.”
The victim and another person were both subpoenaed to testify.
Judge Bratton, who also was presiding over this case, dismissed it on Feb. 9, 2023.
Court records again indicate the case was dismissed because of “DWP,” which stands for “Dismissed for Want of Prosecution.”
Blair also pleaded no contest to possession of drugs (a small amount of marijuana) on June 24, 2020.
