A local man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly assaulting his common-law partner and threatening to sick his dog on her. This arrest led police to investigate previous incidents, in which they believe the 25-year-old accused sexually assaulted the victim.
On April 25, at 2:30 a.m., the accused and the victim began arguing in their mid-town residence. During the argument, police say the man punched his partner multiple times causing injury. The accused then allegedly threatened to have his dog attack the woman, who then left their shared apartment.
