Shane and Maggie met through Shane’s sister over a year ago, when Maggie was living next door to her. They began dating after Shane was released from his most recent stint in prison. Shane began exhibiting controlling behavior early in the relationship, but Maggie said she felt she could help Shane overcome his personal demons and addictions. One night in November, their relationship exploded into violence, in an incident that left Maggie with marks on her neck and Shane in jail.
