A Lakeview man was arrested for domestic violence after he reportedly struck his live-in girlfriend during an altercation early Sunday, April 13, deputies from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report.
Tyler Robinson, 36, was taken into custody without incident at his residence in the 200 block of Stephenson Street after deputies responded to a report of a possible domestic dispute.
Deputies were first dispatched at approximately 8:55 a.m. for a well-being check on a female whose family had not heard from her since the day before. While deputies were en route, dispatchers reported that the woman had been located by family members at a pull-off near north State Route 235 and Stephenson Street. Family members reported that the woman told them she was assaulted by her boyfriend.
Deputies arrived at the pull-off around 9:33 a.m. and spoke with the victim’s brother who said his sister had told a neighbor that Robinson had punched her in the mouth. An audio recording of that conversation was also shared with law enforcement.
The victim told deputies that Robinson had been drinking, a fight broke out between them and Robinson struck her in the mouth around 1 a.m. inside their home. She reported leaving the residence afterward because she was afraid, and told deputies that was not the first time she had felt unsafe.
Deputies observed a small abrasion on the right side of the victim’s forehead.
Deputies attempted to contact Robinson at the residence around 9:42 a.m., but received no response. His vehicle was found parked in the driveway. A short time later, the victim returned to the home with deputies and allowed them inside, where Robinson was found in the kitchen.
When asked about the incident, Robinson told deputies he was unsure what had happened because he was intoxicated. Robinson was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
