On Aug. 2, 2026, an officer with the Columbia Police Department investigated a reported domestic assault involving Derrion Trendale Henry. The victim stated she and Henry got into a verbal argument about her having sexual relations with another female and not including him.
ย According to the probable cause statement, the victim reported the argument turned physical when Henry grabbed her left bicep and threw her to the ground, causing her to hit a cabinet. The victim stated Henry then struck her in the head with closed fists approximately 15 times and kicked her in the ribs with both feet approximately five times. She stated Henry stopped striking her and sat down.
The victim reportedly stood up, and the two continued arguing. The victim stated Henry then grabbed her by the neck with both hands and began to strangle her. She reported Henry applied pressure to her throat for approximately one to five minutes. The victim stated Henry then threw her to the floor, causing her head to strike a coffee table. She reported injuries to her head, ribs, arms, and legs.
The officer observed an approximately one-inch laceration on the back of the victimโs head, bruising on her left bicep and tricep, bruising to her neck with multiple scratches, and a small half-inch laceration on her left hand between her pointer finger and middle finger.
The victim told the officer she feared for her life because Henry told her, โI could kill you, and no one would know.โ The victim also reported a similar incident had occurred in July 2026, when Henry allegedly strangled her and made the same statement.
After speaking with the victim, the officer made contact with Henry at the location and took him into custody. In a post-Miranda statement, Henry stated he and the victim got into a verbal altercation about adding another female in a sexual manner. Henry stated, โI did put my hands on [the victim], but I was defending myself.โ Henry also stated the victim swung her fist at him. The officer reported not observing any injuries to Henry. Henry stated he and the victim use methamphetamine and had been on a five-day bender, and said his memory of the incident was not great.
The probable cause statement further notes Henry has prior convictions for resisting or interfering with arrest, domestic abuse battery, and an illegal carrying of weapons charge.
Henry is now charged with two counts of domestic assault, one in the second degree and one in the third degree.
