Robert W. Mosier, 68, of Springfield, was charged with domestic violence related to an incident early Sunday morning, April 16, at a residence on Park Street in Lakeview.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded about 12:40 a.m. to the address on a report of a domestic dispute.
His girlfriend told deputies that she and Mosier had been involved in a physical altercation. Deputies said the woman was visibly upset. She told them that Mosier had woken her up and then started to yell at her and struck her several times. Deputies observed swelling to the side of her face.
She stated she began throwing items in the home and possibly toward Mosier.
Inside the home, deputies observed multiple glassware items that were broken, along with a broken coffee table. Mosier was not located inside the residence, and deputies were able to reach him by phone.
The defendant told deputies that he was almost back home to Springfield. However, a West Liberty Police Department officer conducted a traffic stop with his vehicle in the area of U.S. Route 68 and County Road 5. The officer noted that Mosier had visible injury to his face and was bleeding. He stated that his girlfriend had come home from the bar that evening and “went crazy,” throwing items in the house and striking him with a vase, causing the injury.
Deputies placed him under arrest and transported Mosier to the Logan County Jail. His girlfriend, who was not identified by deputies, also was issued a summons for domestic violence.
