An Iowa City man was arrested Monday afternoon after allegedly dragging his separated wife into a vehicle against her will.

According to a witness, 25-year-old Jesus Quintero-Vasquez of the Bon Aire Mobile Home Lodge dragged the woman by her hair and forced her, screaming, into a vehicle. Arriving police located the vehicle, and allegedly observed the woman with damage to her pants and shoes consistent with being dragged across concrete. The woman also reportedly had a bleeding ankle and a red mark under one of her eyes.

The woman told police that Quintero-Vasquez was her husband, but they are currently living separately.

Quintero-Vasquez was charged with Domestic Abuse Assault causing Injury, a serious misdemeanor. The woman requested a no-contact order between the two.
