Baby's head strikes wall three times during fight

TMP Reports


A baby’s head struck the wall three times while her mother held her during a physical fight with a roommate early Thursday on January Street, Murfreesboro Police reported.

Paramedics checked the baby who suffered a possible red mark but mother Bobbie Sittloh-Dunlap refused to transport the baby to the hospital, Officer Brad Premo reported. The baby’s age was not given on the report.

Dunlap argued with roommate Donald Boysel after accusing him of being with another woman, the officer reported. When he tried to leave, the mother closed the door, striking the baby’s head.

She told Premo Boysel tried to leave again and pushed her, causing the baby’s head to hit the wall twice.

Dunlap requested paramedics check the baby but she refused to allow them to take the baby to be checked.

Due to conflicting accounts, no charges were placed. Both adults were advised how to obtain arrest warrants.
