Derrick then became angry about that and proceeded to break their 40-50 gallon fish tank.
Cassandra then claimed Derrick proceeded to yell at her, while punching walls.
He then preceded to shatter a dining room chair over a table, and then picked up a piece of the chair and threw it at her.
She went to walk out the door and he prevented her from going out the door, punching the door a couple of times and kept slamming it shut.
Cassandra was able to get out the door and walk towards her vehicle, but Derrick pulled her back and took the keys out of her hand, saying “she was not leaving and they were going to continue to have this fight.”
She then informed told him he can continue to yell at her but he was going to clean up.
He then proceeded to use the broom to smash the broom through the clean dishes on the counter and onto the floor, and then broke the broom in three pieces and proceeded to bat other things including the walls.
At that point Cassandra stated she sat in the chair, and Derrick “finished yelling at her.” He then Derrick “calmed down” and they then cleaned everything up.

He got upset when he could not unlock it, so he slammed the phone on a counter.
Cassandra then hit him in the stomach and with a closed fist on the left side of the face near his left eye three to four times.
While stating her version of events, Cassandra claimed while she was working, Derrick came into the bar asking people if they knew who the guy was that Cassandra was talking to.
