A West Des Moines woman was arrested Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted a Des Moines man in the home.
Janie Marie Jones, 22, of 1260 S. Jordan Creek Parkway, West Des Moines, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness.
The incident began about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday in the 1200 block of Jordan Creek Parkway, where officers of the West Des Moines Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Jones allegedly began “striking him in the face multiple times with a closed fist and an open hand” in the course of a domestic dispute, according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “fresh-bloodied top and bottom lips, swollen right cheek with bruising and bruising along his forehead,” according to court records.
Jones “denied any allegations of abuse,” according to court records.
Jones is held in the Dallas County on a $1,000 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.
