Iowa City Police say a Shelter House resident dragged a woman behind a dumpster and assaulted her earlier this week.
Officers were called to The 501 Project at 501 Southgate Avenue just before 8:45 Wednesday night for a woman with a swollen face who reported being attacked. The woman told investigators that 46-year-old Darnell Thomas, who lists his address as the nearby Shelter House, had dragged her behind a dumpster, punched her in the face, choked her and knocked her unconscious.
Thomas is charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury, a Serious Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in jail.
