A man allegedly hit his common-law wife with a broomstick on the face after an argument with his wife’s mother on Tuesday morning.
Herman Michael Selepeo Jr., 23, was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.
The victim’s left eye was swollen, police said.
Selepeo was allowed to post a $625 cash bail yesterday.
Detective Peter A. Aldan stated in his report that Selepeo and his common-law wife were walking home on Afetnas Road when, still smarting from his argument with his wife’s mother, Selepeo allegedly hit his wife in the face with a broomstick he was holding when she told him to ignore the argument.
The wife proceeded to her mother’s house where police were then called.
