A Waukee man was arrested Sunday after allegedly assaulting a Waukee woman in the home.
Ernest Raymond Henderson Jr., 41, of 1830 S.E. Waddell Way, Waukee, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness.
The incident began about 11:15 p.m. Sunday at a residence in the 1800 block of S.E. Waddell Way, where officers of the Waukee Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Henderson allegedly “pushed her down to the ground” and that “her arm hit the upturned bed frame,” according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “redness to her left forearm,” according to court records.
Henderson was later taken into custody at a Waukee motel.
Henderson is held in the Dallas County Jail on a $1,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Nov. 5 in Dallas County District Court.
