Daniel P. Oakley, 34, of 15643 State Route 720, Lakeview, was charged with a felony count of domestic violence related to an incident early Monday morning, July 24.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded about 3:45 a.m. to an address on Union Street in Lakeview on well-being check.
When deputies arrived at the residence, they spoke with Oakley, who reported that he and his pregnant girlfriend had been in an argument, but that nothing physical had occurred.
However, when deputies spoke with the girlfriend outside, she showed deputies her neck and stated that Oakley had attempted to choke her. Deputies observed marks on her neck that resembled marks where red marks and pressure had been applied.
The victim she was on the floor at one point during the altercation and she was trying to “protect her belly from being hurt” because she is pregnant. She also told deputies that
Oakley covered her mouth while she was screaming, telling her that “the neighbors could hear her.”
Oakley was placed under arrest and transported to the Logan County Jail. He related to deputies that he also has another domestic violence charge in the courts right now.
