Deputies responded to a Maplewood Drive address – Saturday December 23rd, concerning a domestic situation.  As they were traveling towards that location – dispatchers told them that the woman in question had been involved in a domestic situation, during which she said she had been assaulted.  The woman told dispatchers that she was going to get in her vehicle and then follow an individual that had allegedly assaulted her.  The dispatcher advised her not to do so because the woman had already admitted to drinking.
