Deputies responded to the 10100 block of Inverness Main St. after the victim called from that area at 12:34 pm.
Tiffany Merritt, 22, told deputies that she and her live-in boyfriend Quinn got into an argument. She claims he grabbed her, shook her to the ground, and took the house phone out of her hand while she was calling 911.
Merritt also told deputies that Quinn took her cell phone and told her that she was not going to call the police. Merritt says she then ran to a neighbor's house to call 911.
Quinn admitted to police at the scene that he took the phone out of Tiffany's hand so she couldn't call the police.
Quinn also stated that he only grabbed Tiffany when she started hitting him in the face. During the investigation deputies did not see any visible signs that Quinn had been struck in the face or head area.
Quinn was taken into custody and transported to the Sullivan Detention Facility where he was booked in on charges of: - Harassment
- Obstruction of Telephone Services
- Domestic Violence
No bond has been set and quinn was expected to remain in custody overnight. Copyright © 2009, KDVR-TV

“”This was an unfortunate personal situation,” Schaffer said. “”However I’m very proud the way Richard handled this delicate situation by diffusing what otherwise could have been a potentially dangerous situation.
“”When all the facts come out, people will find out Richard’s done nothing wrong. Richard’s No. 1 concern right now is the welfare of his daughter and to avoid any negative light brought to the Denver Broncos, Richard and his family.”
“Richard did everything he was taught to do (through various NFL rookie programs that deal with potential off-field situations) to diffuse an otherwise irrational person and he’s the person sitting in jail,” Schaffer said.
