The first officer an the scene was officer Janet Toll of the Centerville police Department. When the officer arrived she discovered victim Cindy Lexler, 19, running out of her house with visibly bleeding from her mouth and swollen redness around her eye.

"She told me that her father was intoxicated and out of control so I immediatelty secured her ands walked toewards the house," said Toll. As the officer walked closer to the door the mother Lori Lexler came running out screaming "'He's got a gun, and my 12-year-old daughter is in there.' My main concern at that point was thatr I had an unsecured resident in the house," said Toll.

After the officer heard this she pulled out her gun and approached the door. Cindy's father, Branson Lexler, 45, came to the door screaming and cursing with his hands in an attacking position and then he came barreling out of the house.

"I saw thaqt he no longer had a gun in his possession so I went to secure my weapon, while doing so I lost my balance and fell of the step to the ground and Lexler attacked me," Toll said. Officer Toll struggled with Lexler for 15 minutres until she was able to regain her footing and sustain Lexler long enough to place him in handcuffs. Officer Toll's backup showed up 20 mins. later and Lexler was taken into custody. The 44 caliber gun was recovered from inside the home.

"That was the most intense situation I was ever in with no man power to back me up," said Toll. Lexler was charged with aggravated assault, 2 counts of simple assaulkt, 2 counts of harassment, resisting arrest, and 3 counts of disorderly condiuct.

When toll arrived back at the police station she began to realize she couldn't mover her arm, she was sent to Centerville hospital for an Mri and the results came backing showing she tore his rotor cuff and she had a tear in her bicep. Toll has been a member of the police Department for 6 years. "This is a job that I love to do and if I didn't I would be miserably doing it," said Toll.
