An Iowa City area transient faces several charges stemming from a domestic abuse incident that occurred Sunday night.
Officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of Oakcrest for a noise disturbance. Arriving officers standing outside the apartment could hear a female screaming and sounding like she was in distress. The woman allegedly screamed “get off me,” and “get away from me, you’re hurting me” before the sound of shattering glass was heard. Officers opened the door and found the victim in a towel with obvious marks on her body, and the man, identified as 30-year-old Humberto Dominguez-Gonzalez, naked in the living room with blood on the floor. He was allegedly in close proximity of several pieces of drug paraphernalia, including grinders, jars with remnants of marijuana in them, and a bong.
Officers attempted to identify Gonzalez, who provded a false name, a false dates of birth, and claimed at various times to be 23,24,25,27 and 26 years old. When Gonzalez was told he was under arrest and would be identified when fingerprinted, he then admitted his real name and birthdate.
According to the woman, Gonzalez wouldn’t let her out of the bathroom, shut the door and placed himself in front of the door so she couldn’t leave. She reportedly had fresh scratch marks and bruising on her arms, ankles, and back. It was apparent to officers that the woman didn’t know Gonzalez’ real name despite living together for about a month.
Gonzalez attempted to move his handcuffs to the front of his body while being transported to the jail.
He’s been charged with False Imprisonment, Domestic Abuse Assault 2nd Offense, and six counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. If convicted on all counts, Gonzalez could be sentenced to up to three and a half years in jail.
