A North Liberty man was arrested Monday after allegedly assaulting his wife, who he is currently separated from.
The incident occurred around 6:30 pm in the parking lot of 32-year-old Caleb Hayes’ Jones Boulevard residence. A witness stated that he heard screaming, and when he came upon the scene, he reportedly saw Hayes throw the woman to the ground. Further investigation determined that Hayes threw her to the ground multiple times. The woman had blood on her clothes and body, and complained of a headache after her head hit the ground during the altercation.
One of their children, a 7-year-old boy, allegedly suffered minor injuries to his knees, elbow and foot when he tried to stop the fight.
Hayes was taken into custody and charged with Domestic Abuse Assault causing Injury and Child Endangerment. If convicted on both counts, he could be sentenced to up to three years in jail.
A no-contact order was requested among the parties involved.
