A Bellefontaine woman was lodged in the Logan County Jail after she reportedly assaulted her roommate Sunday, Nov. 23.
Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department responded to an address on Gunntown Road at 10:25 p.m. on the report of a domestic dispute.
Once police arrived, the victim told officers that Stephanie L. Newman, 34, of Bellefontaine, struck and scratched them several times, with police noting the victim had visible injuries, including a red area on their face, several scratches on their arms, as well as clump of hair that were reportedly yanked off the victim’s head.
Newman left the apartment prior to police arriving, but was soon located in her vehicle near the intersection of Kent Drive and Wright Street.
After speaking with both parties, Newman was arrested on the charge of domestic violence and taken to the Logan County Jail.
Man lodged on parole violation
Police also report the arrest of David J. Williams, 46, of Bellefontaine for a parole violation following a traffic stop on the west side of the city at 11:43 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22.
Williams was a passenger in a car that was stopped for a traffic violation and was not wearing a seat belt. Williams reportedly gave police a fake name when questioned, but officers, having had contact with Williams before, contacted dispatch who informed them that Williams was wanted for a parole violation from the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
Once Williams was positively identified, he was arrested without incident on the parole violation warrant and lodged in the jail, while the driver of the vehicle was issued a warning for a stop sign violation.
