She then said she felt her face and she saw that she had blood on her hands….I continued to ask Vester if Willie hit her and she would not say he did or did not hit her. I asked her what did he hit her with and she refused to answer….Vester continued to be evasive to the questions that I was asking her and she said that she wanted to talk about the incident later. Once Vester had received treatment for her injury, she wanted to leave. She received 6 stitches for her injury.”
