An Iowa City man was arrested early Saturday morning after an alleged argument over an ex resulted in a physical assault.
Police say 30-year-old Skyler Burkett and a woman were in a heated argument at her Hills apartment over an ex. According to reports, Burkett then began throwing things around the apartment and at the woman. He’s then accused of pushing her outside and began throwing her things out.
While the woman was sitting outside, Burkett allegedly punched her in the face, causing a cut over her eye. Burkett then fled the scene. His presence was in violation of a no-contact order.
Burkett was taken into custody and charged with Domestic Abuse Assault second offense, after being convicted of the charge on April 15th. If convicted, he could get a two year jail sentence.
