Details from the police report below. I bolded the part where Beard says he has recordings that will clear him. He bit her!
--------
Details from the report - an officer responded to a 911 call at just after midnight and was met at the door by a woman who identified herself as Beard's fiancée. The woman told the officer that she and Beard had been upset with each other for several days over relationship issues. Asked by the officer if the argument turned physical, the woman, according to police, said yes. "He just snapped on me and became super violent," she said, according to the affidavit.
The woman said she took Beard's reading glasses from his hand and broke them. Beard, she told police, then slapped her glasses from her face.
Then Beard, "choked me, threw me off the bed, bit me, bruises all over my leg, throwing me around, and going nuts" she said, according to the affidavit.
The woman told police that Beard put an arm around her neck while he was behind her and choked her for five seconds, impeding her breathing.
Beard, while police were on scene, said he had audio recordings of the incident that show he was not the primary aggressor. Police say Beard was not willing to share the recordings.
The following injuries were visible on the woman, according to the affidavit: bite mark to the right forearm, abrasion to the right eyebrow, abrasion to the left leg from the knee to the foot, and a cut to the left thumb with dried blood. In an additional statement, the woman complained of scratches on her back and her right eye, a bite mark to her right arm, an abrasion and bruises to her left leg, and a cut to her left hand.
