When Indiana State Police Trooper Tracy Spencer arrived at the scene he met with officers from the Scottsburg City Police Department.
The reported car crash was not a car crash after all but, was actually a Domestic Battery that occurred inside of a vehicle.

Several witnesses in other vehicles witnessed the battery occur and blocked the vehicle Gary Hall was driving until officers could arrive.
