SOUTHWEST RANCHES – Broward Sheriff’s deputies responding to a domestic dispute at the Southwest Ranches home of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall on April 23 came across a startling scene and recovered a bloody knife and gun clip, according to never before released incident reports.

The reports say deputies came across a “significant pool of blood” and a “solid trail of blood” across the floors of several rooms throughout the home. Blood was also splattered on the walls. Marshall admitted he and his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, had engaged in an argument that became “physical.” Even with his admission and the fact that both suffered cuts and other injuries, only the wife was arrested.

Marshall had cuts to his palms and his wrists and a stab wound to his stomach. Nogami-Marshall had bruises on her cheek and cuts on her hand and foot. She also complained of injuries to her legs.

A large bloody knife, a bloody gun clip, and a handgun were recovered from the home.

Such details were not included in the single-paragraph incident report, prepared by Det. John Lawrence, that the Sheriff’s Office has released to the public. South Florida Times has confirmed that Lawrence was the lead detective on the case but that at least nine other deputies were on the scene prior to his arrival. Each of those deputies compiled reports with graphic details of what occurred.

According to the reports, the incident began when Nogami-Marshall called 911 and said, “Please come, it’s an emergency.” When the dispatcher asked for the specific location, she repeated, “Please come, it’s an emergency,” and then the phone was hung up. BSO deputies were then dispatched to the Marshalls residence.

Deputies mobilized outside the home that afternoon and a standoff was underway until Marshall called Kevin Swanson, a BSO sergeant who was off-duty at the time, to intervene.

Swanson directed deputies not to approach the home until he arrived. Deputies complied but continued trying to reach someone inside the residence by phone and a video call box located at the front gate of the house. Sgt. Eric Caldwell arrived on the scene and learned of Swanson’s orders. After waiting “approximately about eight more minutes” and learning Swanson was coming from his home, Caldwell disregarded Swanson’s order and directed deputies to enter the yard.

As they approached the home from different directions, Caldwell peered through the glass front door and saw blood on floors and walls. The home had been the subject of previous 911 domestic violence calls, so Caldwell ordered deputies to pull back. He then called for a K-9, paramedics, and back up from tactical units.

As deputies arrived and moved into position, Swanson showed up in plainclothes driving an unmarked vehicle. He was on the phone with Marshall, who directed him and another deputy to the rear of the home and let them in.

“As I entered the residence, I observed a large white bed comforter on the foyer floor and several small spots of blood around it’s (sic) perimeter,” Sgt. Craig McCormick wrote in his report. “I observed a large quantity of blood on the white tile floor; from the kitchen area, through the front living room area to the entrance to the hall connecting the master suite.”

Other deputies and paramedics also entered the home. One deputy noted bruises on Nogami-Marshall’s cheek and other injuries. Several other deputies gave accounts about a bloody 13-inch knife and a bloody gun clip .

“In the hallway near the front door, I also observed a large kitchen knife covered with blood and a small, but loaded magazine, from an unknown firearm,” wrote Deputy Roberto Aspuru. “I also noted that although the magazine is able to hold a total of 6 rounds, there were only 5 rounds accounted for. In addition, there was blood on the magazine as well.”

Swanson asked Marshall about weapons in the house. Marshall then took Swanson to his bedroom closet and retrieved a handgun from inside a clothes drawer. The magazine clip was missing. Swanson reported there was one bullet in the gun’s chamber, which he removed before placing it into evidence.

Marshall told deputies his injuries were from a broken vase. He also said he did not want anything to happen to his wife. Paramedics treated both of them on the scene and Marshall signed a release declining to be transported to the hospital. Swanson, however, advised him that he could be forced to accept medical attention under the Baker Act, which allows for involuntary treatment, and later gave him an escort to the hospital.

“I transported Brandon from his house to the front gate of his community to meet his friend who then transported him to Broward General Medical Center,” Swanson wrote in his report. “I had the pair follow me to the hospital as his friend did not know where Broward General was or how to get there and I needed to ensure that he actually went to receive the care necessary.”

BSO officials say Swanson is not under any type of scrutiny for his actions during the incident.

“It’s a gated community so the sergeant transported him outside to meet EMS [paramedics],” BSO director of media relations Jim Leljedal said. “It isn’t something we ordinarily do but, because there was a gate that was closed, it was the most expeditious thing to do.”

However, according to the reports, paramedics arrived shortly after deputies entered the home. They treated Marshall and his wife while they were in the house. Nogami-Marshall received additional medical attention. Marshall needed more serious care and Swanson escorted the vehicle he was riding in to Broward Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.

Nogami-Marshall was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. However, citing conflicting evidence, prosecutors with the Broward State Attorney’s Office dropped the charge on July 29.

National Football League officials declined comment on the incident when contacted by South Florida Times this week. Messages left at the Marshalls residence were not returned. Miami Dolphins officials said the issue has been resolved and any conversations they had with Marshall were “internal and private.”

“As far as we’re concerned it’s a closed matter,” said Harvey Greene, the Miami Dolphins’ senior vice president for media relations.

Prosecutors declined comment when asked if they were aware of the supplemental reports which show Marshall admitted the two were in an argument that became “physical” and that bloody weapons were taken from the scene.

“I have nothing to say about it,” state attorney spokesman Ron Ishoy said.

Thanks flgreen!!!

I fixed it and posted the article...honestly thought it was too long to post.

Anywho, that was a nasty incident, bloody knife, bloody gun...blood every where...both suffered cuts and stabs.

I'm not sure, but domestic violence that is this bad, you'd think, would deserve some type of a suspension. Then again, Big Ben only got 4 games for rapping multiple women...so who knows.

Goodell is an asshat.

+1. This guy has a lurid history of violence, especially against women. Sure he's got money for good legal representation, but I still can't believe he gets away with all these incidents.

You know he's going to kill somebody, if he hasn't already.

Ah, love. Part of life's rich banquet.

Knives with blood, Guns with blood, comforter with blood, shoes with blood, blood on the tile, cuts, stabs,...wtf? It makes me wonder if his whole BPD speech was preemptive knowing this was going to be released.

He's got to be suspended for this. Has to be.

Ah, love. Part of life's rich banquet.

Love is real.

[flgreen]

How come some political hack isn't screaming for him to be in jail. He was stabbed. Biggie here. The gun that had it's clip removed, had a round in the chamber. Blood on the clip. Some one who was bleeding chambered a round, then removed the clip without removing the round from the chamber.

Charges were dropped?

This wasn't a rural DWI in his home town where a cop who is a fan lets him go. This thing seems to have gotten a lot of response.

It seems there was some preventing entry by Marshall until his hand selected cop arrived.

This is weird stuff

Love is real.

Sex is real. Default is real. Love is delusion.

Did they mention if the dog was ok?

[WWWWombat]

Not sure why we're hearing about it now given that it happened in April.

It's weird

I live in So Florida, and when it happened of course for a few days everyone on the local sports show was talking about it. Then it went away. This is really the first I've heard of any of the details.

If this was NY,and a Jets player, Cimini, and Fat Mike would have every detail going 24-7 for the last 4 months

[Vudu]

We should all disregard this incident...apparently Brandon Marshall has a Personality disorder which excuses his bad behavior on the grounds of insanity

LOL I forgot about that.

So what happened with the wife? Tell me they aren't back together again? If so then Goodell should suspend his a$$ for a year with the reason being: "letting money grubbin womens ruin your life."

[JiFtheOracle]

Not sure why we're hearing about it now given that it happened in April.

Because they just released new info and the police reports.

The bloody gun and the whole specific cop that they waited to arrive before they entered the house...this is all new info that makes the whole thing very fishy.

Haha Sweet Bup-z made a funny.

[kelticwizard]

I don't think the specific cop thing is all that bad. You are dealing with someone with a history of violence, you answer a report at his house, he says he will cooperate if he can deal with one specific cop, not a bad idea if you can get the cop down there in a few minutes. Chances are Marshall had dealt with that cop before and had developed a rapport with him-this cuts down the chances of resistance and violence breaking out during the investigation and arrest. Then somebody looked in the window befopre that cop could get there and saw blood all over and at that time the police figured they had to come in, no time to lose.

I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone was questioning it from the overall police standpoint, because like you said there is certainly some logic behind listening to the request. I think it's more that people are questioning the sketchy nature of it in terms of Marshall and that particular cop. Certainly seems like those two were making a serious effort to hide something.

Alright that makes sense. It doesn't seem like he committed a crime but then again you don't need to commit a crime to get suspended for violating the personal conduct policy. It seems like most of this is on his wife, but some of it is probably on him given that he eventually had to go seek treatment at McLean. I wonder wtf happened Oo

Sure but like BG said, it wasnt that...and they waited close to 10 minutes. Definitely an effort to hide something.

Thats how the story has played out hence why the 1 specific cop is even more fishy, but why does she have multiple cuts on her arms, wrists, bruises on her legs, cuts on her feet. Come'on...this was a back and forth.
