Following an argument with Long, the victim went to spend the night at a family member’s home, and was packing her belongings into garbage bags.

While she packed, the DA’s office said she and Long continued to argue, and Long threw a trash bag full of clothing at her and she left the apartment.

The DA’s office said Long chased her into the parking lot and wrestled her to the ground, then picked her up against her will and took her back into the apartment.
