An Iowa City man was arrested on an assault warrant after allegedly arguing with the victim over fireworks.
The incident occurred at the Breckinridge manufactured housing community on Taft Avenue Southeast the evening of July 29th. 32-year-old Shannon Poulin approached the victim, who was outside near a campfire in front of their mobile home. The two got into an argument, reportedly about Poulin shooting off fireworks.
The argument reportedly escalated, and Poulin hit the victim on the left side of the head, causing bleeding to the cheek area and behind the left ear. Pieces of glass were allegedly found in the cheek injury, but it was unknown if Poulin used some sort of object when he struck the victim.
Poulin left the area on foot and was not located.
A warrant for the man’s arrest was issued, and he was taken into custody late Thursday night. Poulin’s been charged with Assault causing Bodily Injury, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to one year.
