A Clive man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly assaulting his wife in the home.
Ismet Causevic, 71, of 2150 N.W. 159th St., Clive, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness.
The incident began about 3 p.m. Wednesday at a residence in the 2100 block of 159th Street, where officers of the Clive Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Causevic allegedly “punched” the victim “in the back of the head with a closed fist, slapped her across the face and tried to rip her clothes off of her during a verbal argument,” according to court records.
Causevic is held in the Dallas County Jail on a $1,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 19 in Dallas County District Court.
