A North Liberty man was arrested early Friday morning after allegedly assaulting a man he lives with.
Officers received a call about a fight in progress around 12:25am on the 200 block of Golfview Court. Upon arrival, the victim claimed to have been assaulted by his roommate, 58-year-old Harold McAtee.
The man said McAtee got aggressive over him using household items in the kitchen without permission. McAtee followed him into the bedroom and continued to be verbally assaultive, then allegedly pushed him on the bed and punched him in the face.
When McAtee was interviewed, he reportedly admitted to being the primary aggressor in the incident. He was charged with domestic abuse assault causing injury, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to a year if convicted. A no-contact order was requested between the roommates.
