Police video shows 22-year-old Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito had been arguing with her boyfriend in a Utah tourist town.

Petito told officers she hit and scratched Laundrie because he was telling her to calm down.

Officers ultimately decided not to charge her with domestic violence and got Laundrie a hotel room for the night.

Laundrie returned to Florida with the van and has not cooperated with investigators.
