A West Des Moines man was arrested Thursday in connection with an incident on Aug. 24 in which he allegedly assaulted a West Des Moines woman in the presence of three children.
Jared Brock Williams, 41, of 9150 Wendover Road, West Des Moines, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness and child endangerment.
The incident occurred Aug. 24 about 7 a.m. at a residence in the 9100 block of Wendover Road, where Williams, in a dispute with the female victim, allegedly “placed both of his hands onto her shoulders and shoved her backwards into the wall and door frame,” and “she hit so hard that she fell to the ground,” according to court records.
The victim sustained an injured back, tailbone and right hip, according to court records.
Three minors were “in the next room and heard the altercation take place,” according to court records.
Williams was held in the Dallas County Jail on a $3,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Sept. 8 in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
