Accusations of Domestic Violence

In December 2020, Campbell’s wife accused him of domestic violence according to a police report taken by the City of Prescott Police Department. According to Campbell’s wife, the former state representative pushed her multiple times until she fell over and then “struck her multiple times in the neck and multiple times in the face.” Campbell’s wife did not press charges as she believed Campbell’s violence was a result of early stages of dementia and that they would be seeking medical treatment.
