On May 6, an officer responded to the scene for a call of a domestic assault. A preliminary investigation revealed that Black and the female victim got into a verbal argument that turned physical.

Black was in Suffolk JDR Wednesday morning for an arraignment and is scheduled to appear back in court on June 19 for a preliminary hearing.
