SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- UPDATE: According to the official probable cause affidavit, on Nov. 17, officers responded to a residence on S. Holiday Street in South Bend.

Court documents state a witness told the officers he was there with a woman, Victim 1, and her boyfriend, David Finn.

The witness stated that they were all out at a local bar, and there was a lot of drinking, and he witnessed Finn and Victim 1 pushing and shoving each other.

The witness told the police Finn then left.

The witness said he and Victim 1 went to another bar for a while, then got a ride share home. The witness said he then texted Finn to let him know that Victim 1 was home safe.

Documents state Finn then arrived at the residence within minutes, and witness told police that's when he had seen Finn push Victim 1 to the ground.
