Police Briefs for Jan. 14

January 14, 2016 By Dick Cook 0 Comments

A Rossville man was charged with Domestic Assault after he refused to leave his ex-girlfriend’s house and allegedly kicked her door and threatened her.

Thomas Adam Hall, 36, of a Mineral Avenue address in Rossville, was charged with Domestic Assault and jailed on a $2,500 bond last week. Hall is scheduled to appear in Municipal Court on Jan. 26.

According to an affidavit of complaint, police were dispatched to a Greenslake Road address on a domestic disorder. While en route, officers were advised by dispatch that the victim told them that her ex-boyfriend, Hall, was on the scene and refusing to leave. The victim also told dispatch that Hall had kicked her door and had a baseball bat threatening to bust her windshield.

The report said that police arrived and made contact with Hall in the driveway and spoke with the victim inside her house. The victim told officers that she did not want him at her house and she refused to let him inside. The victim told police that Hall began kicking the door. The report states that officers saw three footprints on the door consistent with the shoes Hall was wearing. The report states that officers noticed a significant amount of dents in the door that the victim said were a result of Hall hitting the door in a separate altercation. Police noted that an aluminum baseball bat was propped up next to the door that had been kicked. 

The victim also provided officers with a series of text messages consistent with the timing of the incident where she repeatedly asked Hall to leave. Hall, the report states, threatened the victim. The report also states that Hall has a documented history of assaulting the victim and vandalizing her property.

_ Police have charged a Ridgefield Circle man with Domestic Assault, after his girlfriend said he threw her off the porch of their shared residence during an argument.

Anthony Geovani Amatangelo, 27, was jailed on a $1,750 bond and is due to appear in Municipal Court on Feb. 16.

According to an affidavit of complaint, police met with the victim who said she wanted to file a delayed report for domestic assault. The woman told officers that Amatangelo, her live-in boyfriend, was intoxicated and involved in an argument with her ex-husband via text messages. The victim took Amatangelo’s phone away from him in an effort to get him to stop arguing. The report states that the victim told Amatangelo she would give the phone back to him after he sobered up and calmed down.

The victim told police that Amatangelo then wrestled her to the ground in an attempt to get his phone back. The report states that the victim told police that he then picked her up and threw her off the front porch. The victim then tried to leave the home when she claims Amatangelo punctured one of her tires on her car with a kitchen knife. The report states that the victim suffered injuries consistent with being tossed off the porch. She had mud stains on her clothing and her elbows were red. The woman also complained of back pain.

Amatangelo, the report states, confirmed that the couple were arguing, but he claims the victim fell from the front porch. The defendant also admitted puncturing the tire on the victim’s car. The report states that Amatangelo complied withe the victim’s desire to leave the residence and willingly changed the tire while she loaded the vehicle with personal belongings.
