Police said neither Petito and nor her fiance, Brian Laundrie, wanted to press charges. The couple agreed to be separated for the night, officials said
When asked for comment on the police report, the attorney for Petito's family, Richard Stafford, told NBC News, "The Petito and Schmidt family were instructed by law enforcement to not discuss the details of Gabby and Brian's relationship."An officer responded to a possible domestic violence call near a grocery store in Moab, Utah, about 140 miles southeast of Provo. The officer spoke with Petito, Laundrie and a witness whose name was partially redacted in the report.
The incident appeared to be more a mental and emotional "break" than a domestic incident, police said.“No one reported that the male struck the female, both the male and the female reported they are in love and engaged and to be married and desperately didn’t wish to see anyone charged with a crime," according to the report. "There were no significant injures reported and both agreed that Gabbie suffers from serious anxiety.
A second officer listed in the police report wrote he pulled over the van, driven by Laundrie, after observing it going about 45 mph in a 15 mph speed zone. After the officer turned on his lights to pull over the vehicle, he said he witnessed it swerve and strike the curb before it came to a stop. The couple had spent the past four or five months traveling together which was creating tension, the report said. “The time spent created emotional strain between them and increased the number of arguments,” the report said.
The revelation that police in Utah encountered Petito, of Blue Point, Long Island, before she went missing comes as authorities continue to look for her and piece together her whereabouts. Petito was last known to be in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming in late August when she stopped communicating with her family.
