 On December 17th, just after midnight, Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to the 200 block of W. Delaware St. in reference to a domestic violence in progress. The caller reported that a male and female were outside and were screaming at each other. The reporter also stated that the male was hitting the female.Â
When officers arrived, they located two individuals that matched the description walking through a parking lot. The female was hugging the male. The female was identified as 18-year-old Destinee Littlepage, and the male was identified as 18-year-old Malachi Littlepage. Destinee and Malachi are related but also in a romantic relationship. Malachi had an active protective order against him, protecting Destinee.Â
Officers attempted to separate Destinee and Malachi so they could be interviewed separately. Destinee refused to let go of Malachi. Destinee and Malachi became irate when officers attempted to separate them. Malachi kicked his foot back, striking one officer in the knee. Malachi then kicked the other officer in the face, temporarily blinding him. During the struggle, Destinee joined in and struck both officers as well. The officers were eventually able to gain control of Malachi and Destinee. Once Destinee was detained, she kicked another officer several times in the leg while he was escorting her to the squad car. He had complaint of pain but did not have any injuries.Â
The officer who was kicked in the face had a severe eye injury and was taken to the hospital. He suffered a broken orbital bone, temporary blindness in his eye, and swelling in his eye socket. He has been released from the hospital and although he is still suffering from pain, his injuries seem to be progressing.Â
The officer who was kicked in the knee also had to be taken to the hospital. That officer has also been released and luckily, the injury did not require immediate surgery.Â
Malachi and Destinee were taken to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center. Their charges include Aggravated Battery, Battery Against Public Safety Official, Resisting Law Enforcement, Public Intoxication, and Disorderly Conduct. Malachi also had additional charges of Domestic Battery, Invasion of Privacy, and an active Felony Warrant out of Vanderburgh County.Â
At this time, both Malachi and Destinee are still currently being held at the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center.Â
