Dakota Mortensen claimed that Taylor Frankie Paul "grabbed" his neck and throat during a February argument that triggered a domestic violence investigation. A friend of Mortensen's called the Draper Police Department on February 23, alleging that Mortensen, 33, was assaulted by Paul, 31. Mortensen's pal claimed to the 911 dispatcher that his friend was concerned about reporting the incident because of Paul's "celebrity status." The first responder subsequently traveled to meet Mortensen, where he alleged that Paul's behavior was "manic" after an alleged altercation the night before.
