Scott McCallum, then governor, initially said that his son was involved in a group fight while drinking alcohol and was being "singled out." Zachary himself stated he saw a brawl but did not participate, and that he saw the girl lying on the ground and getting punched in the face but he didn't know who injured her. An even different story emerged from Cecilia Retelle, the alleged victim, who accused Zachary of "beating [her], pulling her by the hair, pushing her face into the ground and kicking her several times."
