A Lakeview man was arrested Tuesday, Nov. 12, following a reported domestic dispute at a residence on Lake Avenue.

Deputies from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the residence around 9:55 p.m. after receiving a report of an altercation. The caller stated she had locked herself in her vehicle in the driveway after being assaulted by her live-in boyfriend, Anthony Hoberty, 44.

The altercation began when Hoberty became upset about the length of time the victim had been away at the gas station. Hoberty struck her multiple times during the argument with a closed fist and a belt on her arm and shoulder area. He also reportedly dumped her purse out onto the floor.

Hoberty admitted to yelling and going through the purse during the argument but denied any physical violence. He also expressed regret over accusing his partner of drug use, acknowledging he may have been mistaken.

The victim provided a written statement to deputies, indicating past instances of abuse. Hoberty was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
