According to a criminal complaint, Brookville Borough Police were dispatched to an apartment on Jefferson Street in Brookville Borough for a domestic incident in progress on March 11 around 12:58 p.m.
The responding officer requested Jefferson County Control to send another unit as he had a person in custody for an unrelated incident. While responding, officers were informed that one party of the incident was at Brookville Borough Police Department and the second party was still at the residence.
An officer met with Hailey Goodwill at Brookville Police Department, as well her father, the victim. Goodwill provided police with a written statement of events, reporting that Ishman was out of control and choked, bit, and struck her multiple times, the complaint states.
