Belleville Police have arrested a man wanted in connection with two separate assault cases.
On June 11 at 3:56 p.m., Belleville Police responded to a report from an adult male who stated that he had been punched several times in the face, resulting in minor injuries. The victim knew the suspect and provided officers with identifying information. The suspect had left the area before police arrived.
Officers conducted a search of the area and located the suspect. The male initially attempted to flee on foot; however, responding officers quickly converged on him and he was taken into custody without further incident.
During the investigation, police learned that earlier the same day, the suspect had also assaulted an adult female and had breached court-ordered conditions prohibiting contact with her.
As a result of the investigation, a 30-year-old male of no fixed address was charged with one count of assault, one count of spousal assault, and four counts of breach of probation. He was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
