On November 3rd, Clarksville Police Officer Goodall arrived at the residence of 500 Kraft Street in response to a domestic violence call. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with Johnnie Banks and his girlfriend, Catina Burns. Catina stated Johnnie got angry with her when she told him to leave her apartment.
