An Iowa City man wanted on an assault warrant was taken into custody Thursday.
21-year-old William Humphrey and the woman who is pregnant with his child got into an argument in the apartment they share on the 200 block of Myrtle Avenue in the 1 am hour of January 18th. According to the criminal complaint, Humphrey took the victim’s belongings and threw them in the hallway. He’s also accused of throwing the woman into the hallway twice during the altercation.
The woman had an injury to her left ear as a piercing was ripped open. She was actively bleeding when police arrived. Additionally, Humphrey refused to open the door or speak to officers.
A warrant was issued for Humphrey’s arrest the next day. He was taken into custody just after 12:30 am Thursday. He’s been charged with Domestic Abuse Assault causing Injury, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to one year if convicted. A no-contact order was issued by Judge Jason Burns; further court dates will be set at a later time.
