A North Liberty man who reportedly held a gun to a woman’s head while accusing her of stealing money from him was arrested on a warrant based on the incident Sunday.
The alleged domestic abuse occurred on December 20th at the Alydar Street residence of 43-year-old Seven Divine. According to the victim, who spoke with officers on Friday, Divine accused her of stealing money. He then reportedly threw her on the bed and held a gun to her left temple for two hours. Divine allegedly told her she needed to return the money or he would shoot her, and stated the gun was real. Divine also reportedly struck the woman in the cheek with brass knuckles.
The woman’s son told police that the couple get mad at each other when his mother denies doing something and Divine believes she did.
A warrant was issued for Divine’s arrest, and the warrant was carried out Sunday afternoon. During the arrest, an unspent .38 caliber bullet was found in plain view on the bed that Divine admitted he was watching TV from. Additionally, glass pipes, a bong, used syringes were located.
Divine has two previous domestic abuse assault convictions. He was charged with Domestic Abuse Assault with the Use of a Weapon, Dominion or Control of a Firearm by a Domestic Abuser, and possession of drug paraphernalia. If convicted on all counts, Divine faces up to over seven years in prison.
