A Waukee man was arrested Saturday for assault after a scene with his estranged wife.
David John Limke, 55, of 636 S.E. Williams Court, Waukee, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness.
The incident occurred about 8:30 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of S.E. Williams Court in Waukee, according to court records.
The female victim told the officers that a verbal dispute occurred inside the residence and “that she threw some beer bottles, the other woman’s keys and slapped” Limke “several times,” according to court records.
The victim told the officers that Limke “then grabbed her right hand tightly and squeezed it and then grabbed both of her upper arms very hard, causing her pain,” according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “a bruise on one of her fingers where she stated she had been wearing a ring” and “multiple large bruises on both of her upper arms,” where Limke allegedly “grabbed her,” according to court records.
The officers made contact with Limke, who said the victim “had thrown several beer bottles in his direction during the argument as well as the other woman’s keys,” but he said that the victim “had never slapped him,” according to court records.
Limke “did admit that he had grabbed her right upper arm,” where the victim “had visible bruising,” according to court records.
Limke was held in the Dallas County Jail in advance of an initial appearance in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
