Dakota Mortensen <\/b>claimed that Taylor Frankie Paul <\/b>\u201cgrabbed\u201d his neck and throat during a February argument that triggered a domestic violence investigation.<\/p>\n

A friend of Mortensen\u2019s called the Draper Police Department on February 23, alleging that Mortensen, 33, was assaulted by Paul, 31. Mortensen\u2019s pal claimed to the 911 dispatcher that his friend was concerned about reporting the incident because of Paul\u2019s \u201ccelebrity status.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first responder subsequently traveled to meet Mortensen, where he alleged that Paul\u2019s behavior was \u201cmanic\u201d after an alleged altercation the night before. The DadTok member claimed that Paul got angry about his possible past relationships when they were in bed with their 2-year-old son, Ever.<\/p>\n

According to Mortensen, Paul allegedly attacked him by \u201cgrabbing his face and throat\u201d and scratched his neck. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives <\/i>star also reportedly shoved Mortensen into a window once they stood up from the bed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul has been the subject of multiple domestic violence investigations. Taylor was arrested in February 2023 after an alleged altercation with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. She pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault as part of a plea deal to dismiss the remaining charges. \u201cThe charges [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mortensen called 911 moments later, claiming that Ever was sick<\/span> and he wasn\u2019t sure how to help. The police report, however, alleged that Mortensen said Paul talked him out of reporting the alleged assault by lying about Ever\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Mortensen, who left Paul\u2019s house with Ever that night, returned the next day. He told the 911 responder that they were intimate before Paul reportedly got angry again. She allegedly \u201cmounted him, grabbed his throat and screamed in his face.\u201d Mortensen also said that Paul threw his cell phone across the room, which left a hole in the drywall.<\/p>\n

Mortensen told police officers that he once again tried to leave but Paul followed him to his car. The report said that Paul allegedly kicked the car\u2019s center console screen, punched the rear-view mirror and hit Mortensen, who apparently \u201cshoved her off,\u201d which caused Paul to hit her head on the console screen.<\/p>\n

Mortensen then drove Paul back to her house to drop her off, claiming that he said he planned to call the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s more to the context to everything and it\u2019s unfortunate,\u201d Taylor exclusively told Us<\/i><\/span> in March. \u201cIt\u2019s been hard. It sucks to be in this position. And the mother that I am, that is something I will always stand my ground on. I believe that I am a good mother and I have always treated my kids very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor was previously arrested in February 2023 after a separate alleged fight with Mortensen, where she pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and placed on probation.<\/p>\n
