Police interviewed the witness who performed CPR, and prosecutors say she told them she was dating Shack. She said they were parked outside her home that afternoon when she heard arguing coming from inside. She then saw her daughter hitting Teague's car with a grill cover.

The complaint says Teague then pushed the woman's daughter, his girlfriend, against the car, and Shack stepped in to try to break up the fight and "calm everything down."
