Upon arrival, police interviewed a known male victim who stated that he and his ex-wife, Jody Stover were sitting near a campfire looking at pictures on her phone when a message came across her phone from another man. The victim asked about the message which escalated to an argument, according to the complaint.

The victim told police the argument escalated, and the two individuals shoved and struck each other. Stover then retrieved a baseball bat from the back seat of her vehicle and threatened to strike and beat the victim with it, the complaint indicates.
