Des Moines Police
June 28-July 3
WOMAN BEATER
Police were called to the 1100 block of Cocker
Street on July 1 regarding a fight that broke
out at party. The alleged suspect got into an
argument with a female guest over the way he
treats women. The argument turned physical when
he reportedly punched the woman above the eye,
knocking her to the ground, and continued to
punch her repeatedly in the face until another
woman stepped in. He reportedly punched her
in the face several times, too, before going
back to beating the first victim. The first
victim was transported to the hospital, the
second woman refused, despite obvious injuries,
and the suspect fled before police arrived.
A warrant is out for his arrest, and he’s being
charged with two counts of willful injury.
SUSPICIOUS STABBING
Police were dispatched to Lutheran Hospital
on June 30 regarding a stabbing that had happened
at the Sergeant Park Apartments, 3606 E. Douglas
Ave. A woman watched as her boyfriend walked
around the building with the alleged suspect.
When he returned he was bleeding from a serious
stab wound, so she took him to ER. She was able
to identify the man for police later, but no
arrests were made.
FIRE SCARE
Police arrived at the 1600 block of Capitol
Avenue on July 1 to find a woman and her children
standing out in the front yard, as smoke plumed
from behind the house. The fire was coming from
the northwest corner of the house. The woman
had been alerted to the fire by a neighbor beating
on the door, telling her to get out with the
children. The woman told police she had no reason
to suspect anyone, but arson investigators are
on the case. CV |
