According to WFMD, On Monday, March 31, Frederick Police Officers responded to a domestic incident on the 900 block of West Patrick Street. They discovered signs of a struggle in a room and found a woman with extensive bleeding and a large contusion on her forehead. The victim was transported to Frederick Health Hospital, where medical staff confirmed she had suffered a broken back.

During the investigation, police searched the residence and found 30 grams of a white, powdery substance on Findlater’s person. They stated that the quantity of drugs and packaging suggested an intent to distribute. Findlater was subsequently taken into custody. A mugshot was not provided.
