According to the police report, a second child in the home went to the neighbor's to seek help. The neighbor contacted the Plainfield Police Department. The report goes on to say the woman was able to get Adkins off of her, whom police say the woman has an active Protective Order against. Adkins then fled the scene before police arrived.
