An Ankeny man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly assaulted a West Des Moines woman after breaking into her home.
Alie Maurice Koroma, 28, of 250 N.E. 41st St., Ankeny, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness and second-degree burglary.
The incident began about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday in the 8900 block of Cascade Avenue in West Des Moines, where officers of the West Des Moines Police Department responded to a report of a burglary in progress.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Koroma allegedly “broke open her front door” and then “assaulted her, causing bodily injury when she was hit in the face and head,” according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “a cut on her lip,” according to court records.
Koroma is held in the Dallas County on a $10,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing April 29 in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
