An Iowa City man has been taken into custody after an alleged assault of his long-time girlfriend.
The incident began Wednesday after 6:30pm when a concerned citizen called police about a man yelling, pushing and striking a woman in the area of La Regia on Highway 1 West. The reporting party provided police with a description of the man’s truck, and explained that the woman gave her phone number to the reporting party after just meeting her today. She allegedly told the person that she was in an abusive relationship with the man, identified as 54-year-old Jeffery George of Elkhorn Trail.
