According to the police report, Joseph broke his wife Stephanie's cell phone during an argument about their separation. During a struggle, her head hit the ground. While responding to that incident, police took handguns and 16 loaded high-capacity magazines from the home, charging Joseph for felony possession of large-capacity feeding devices and numerous domestic violence charges.
