On August 11, 2026, officers with the Clinton Police Department responded to a disturbance in progress at a private residence. Officers arrived and contacted Victim 1, who reported that Keymari Lamar Caldwell forced his way into the apartment. Victim 1 stated Victim 2 came out of the bedroom, and Caldwell asked who Victim 2 was before chasing Victim 2 back into the bedroom. Victim 1 stated they followed Caldwell and observed Caldwell holding a knife in his left hand.
Victim 1 reported trying to get between Caldwell and Victim 2, at which point Caldwell allegedly bit Victim 1โs shoulder and cut their arm with the knife. Victim 1 stated they yelled for Victim 2 to leave. As Victim 2 was trying to leave, Victim 1 stated Caldwell was standing behind them with his left arm around their neck. Victim 1 noticed Victim 2 was bleeding. Victim 1 reported they had been in a relationship with Caldwell for two years but did not live together.
Victim 2 reported arriving at Victim 1โs apartment on August 10, 2026, around 8:42 p.m. Around midnight, Caldwell allegedly arrived and banged on the door several times, wanting to come inside. Victim 2 stated Victim 1 told Caldwell no several times and told him he should not be there. According to Victim 2, Caldwell then barged through the door. Victim 2 stated that when they came out of the bedroom, they observed Caldwell and Victim 1 on the floor. Caldwell then allegedly pulled out a knife and chased Victim 2 back into the bedroom.
Victim 2 reported Caldwell tried to stab them, but Victim 2 was able to move away from the attempts. Victim 2 stated they tried to grab the knife handle but grabbed the blade instead, causing slashes to their fingers. Victim 2 showed officers two marks on their chest. When asked if the marks were from Caldwell trying to stab them, Victim 2 stated yes and reported that they kept pushing the knife away while in the closet.
Victim 2 stated that when Victim 1, Victim 2, and Caldwell ended up in the closet, Caldwell bit Victim 2โs hand and also bit Victim 1. Victim 2 reported that when they went to leave, Caldwell had Victim 1 in a headlock with the knife held up, describing the situation as Caldwell holding Victim 1 at knifepoint.
According to the probable cause statement, an officer observed a laceration on Victim 1โs right wrist and a bite mark on Victim 1โs left shoulder. The officer also observed two puncture marks on Victim 2โs chest and lacerations to Victim 2โs index and middle fingers. Victim 2 had to be treated at a hospital for the finger lacerations.
When asked, Caldwell declined to make a statement.
Caldwell is now charged with domestic assault in the second degree, assault in the first degree, burglary in the first degree, and armed criminal action.
