A verbal argument took place at 8:30 a.m., and it escalated with the woman wanting to leave the apartment but Johnson not letting her, according to the complaint. "The argument continued for an hour before Johnson got violent and repeatedly punched (the woman) in her arms, stomach, and head multiple times," the complaint said. The woman said she called 911, but that Johnson ran after her with scissors, took the phone, hung it up and threw it. In the complaint, police wrote that the woman said Johnson "continued to hit her multiple times in the arms, head and stomach making her throw up twice. Johnson attempted to call off from practice (it should be noted that Johnson is a basketball player on the University of Pittsburgh basketball team) because he did not want to leave her alone for fear that she would leave the apartment and call 911" The woman waited until Johnson left the apartment, then she also left, according to the complaint. A copy of her medical discharge report from the hospital that she provided to police by email showed that she was treated for bruises and a concussion, police said in the complaint. "Photos show bruising on (the woman's) left and right arms, scratches on her neck, bruising on her left collarbone and left shoulder and chest, and broken finger nail," the complaint said.

Not mentioned here, but It started because she accidentally got his phone wet. He also mashed her face into the mattress so that she couldn't breath and stole her cell phone so she couldn't call anyone after flying her from Cali to Pitt.
