The victim told deputies she went inside the home to grab her things and leave when Fowler "chased after her and punched her with a closed fist in the head and stomach," the report said.

Fowler began to throw the belongings of the woman and a baby who was in the home at the time outside, the report said.

Deputies said Fowler picked up a car seat with the over two-month-old infant inside and threw it out the front door.

The victim told deputies that as she ran after the child who was thrown, Fowler slapped her in the back of the head, the report states.

A neighbor who was an eyewitness to the incident told the victim that she could come to her house until sheriff's deputies arrived.

The witness told deputies that she saw Fowler throw the car seat out the door and saw it land on the front porch.

Deputies said Fowler took off on a skateboard once they were called.

When deputies spoke with Fowler, he advised that he and the women did get into argument over photos he was receiving from other women on Snapchat, but denied that the child was in the car seat when he threw the child, the report said.

Fowler was arrested on battery and child abuse charges. He has no bond.
