Police were called to the apartment of a woman on Wednesday after neighbors overheard an argument. Upon entering the residence, police said they saw Nunn in the living room. At first both the victim and Nunn indicated nothing happened, but later the woman called police back to her apartment.

“She said they were arguing about their relationship and whether or not she owed him money and at some point he did push her and strike her in the back of the head," First Assistant State’s Attorney Steve Ziegler said, via the News-Gazette.
