In the early morning hours of March 27, 2018 a melee ensued when the two Airmen were alone in their room.

After completing his shift Isiah Edwards went to the dorm room he shared with Bradley Hale, then left to bring back food for them both. When he returned, he flipped open his knife. Edwards made a joke about using it to rob the restaurant where he had gotten the food before putting down the knife next to Hale’s chair and going to bed. Edwards woke up when he felt Hale’s hand on his buttocks, and then saw his roommate walk towards and enter the bathroom. Isiah explained that they had no arguments, fights or problems of any kind before falling asleep, but the touching made him “really pissed off.” While his roommate was in the bathroom, Edwards stated he sat up in his bed and “was just sort of fuming a bit.” He got out of bed and stood in a corner of the room by the switch for the overhead light. After Bradley went back to bed, Isiah flipped on the light, stood next to his roommate, “and told him to get up.”
