According to the arrest report from PSLP, officers arrived around 3 a.m. at the residence of Swan and the 40-year-old alleged victim, whose name was not released. Police said Swan denied any physical altercation or violence but instead claimed she had to barricade herself in the bedroom because the victim “was in a drunken rage” and upset because she did not want to watch TV with Swan. She also claimed her wife made several holes in the wall but again denied any “physical altercation” between the couple.
Her wife told police a far different story.
She said she was in the kitchen making nachos while Swan was playing video games in the living room.

“Allyson told her she shouldn’t be eating this late and made a comment about her weight,” the reporting officer wrote. “The two began arguing and Allyson walked over to [the victim], grabbed a handful of the cheesy nachos, and shoved them down the back of [the victim’s] pants.”
The two began arguing, and the victim walked to the bedroom to change her pants. She told police that’s when her wife attacked her physically, slamming her against the wall in the hall just outside their bedroom, and then slamming her face first onto the floor.
“[The victim] stated Allyson pinned her face down onto the floor and shoved her fingers into either side of her mouth and hooked them like a fish,” the report continues. “Allyson then continued to batter her by grabbing her head and slamming it into the floor multiple times. At some point, Allyson threw water on [her wife].”

Swan used the attack to assert her dominance in their relationship, according to the police report.
“Throughout the incident, [the victim] stated Allyson made several comments about making sure [the victim] knows Allyson is in charge and that [the victim] was not behaving.”
At this point, Swan reportedly noticed that her wife was on an open telephone call with a friend, who had listened to the assault. The victim told police she had called the friend after Swan had shoved the nachos down her backside but before Swan turned violent. Swan backed off when the friend called the police, the report says.

Police said they found the scene and evidence corroborated the story told by the victim, including yellow cheesy stains on the wall that matched her backside. They reported a yellow substance consistent with cheesy nacho sauce on the interior backside of the victim’s leggings. The victim also had a hematoma (a pooling of blood under the skin) on her forehead and scratches on her body consistent with her version of events.
Swan was taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery that caused bodily harm. She was released on $250 bail and has her next court appearance in June.
