Man arrested after domestic dispute

A 26-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Sunday morning after being involved in a domestic dispute.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Dave Hubbel, the couple started fighting about 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The altercation continued to escalate throughout the early morning hours until the couple went to bed.

They woke up in the morning and continued to fight. Hubbel said the argument had apparently stemmed from the woman not telling the man where she had been the night before. The man was unable to go out because he was watching his children at home.

The argument escalated into a physical fight that Hubbel said included pushing, shoving and biting on the part of the man. At one point the man grabbed the woman’s feet and pulled her down, causing her to fall and hit her head.

Hubbel said that later, the man, driving his vehicle, had pushed the woman’s vehicle into the garage with his bumper while she was inside.

No one was seriously injured during the incident.

The man was booked into the Douglas County Jail about 9:20 a.m. on charges of aggravated assault, battery, criminal damage and drug possession.
