When he asked his girlfriend about it, she reportedly made a joke out of the situation. She told police she didn’t want to start a fight “over something so petty” so she tried to make peace by offering to buy him new cookies, according to an affidavit obtained by FOX13.

When Hessic’s girlfriend left to take a shower, he reportedly followed her inside and “ripped down the shower curtain” because “he felt she was blowing him off,” according to the document.
