The officer then went to where the complainant was standing with her children. The complainant told the officer that she’d seen Crosby pick the victim up and throw her to the ground. The officer then went to Crosby’s residence where he found Crosby and the victim. The report states the officer could tell that Crosby was intoxicated.
