Police said Strickland pointed a gun at her Sterling Strickland’s chest Sunday night because she was fed up with him staying out late. She pulled the trigger, but the weapon did not fire.

Sterling called police and told them he did not want Tempie charged. But police are required to make an arrest in cases of domestic violence. Tempie says she thought Sterling was going to hit her and just wanted to scare him.
