A Swisher man faces charges that he drove a woman’s head into a concrete road multiple times during an attack north of Lake MacBride late Friday night.

Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the intersection of Ely Road and 120th Street just after 11:45pm. Investigators allege that 24-year-old Weston Christner of Swisher View Drive SW threw a woman onto the middle of the roadway, then continued to slam her head into the concrete by holding onto and pulling her hair.

Deputies say the woman had blood on her sweatshirt, as well as cuts on her hands and swelling and bruising above her right eye.

Christner also reportedly had blood on his sweatshirt and hands. He’s charged with Domestic Abuse Assault Causing Injury, a Serious Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in jail.
