Clinton Public Safety Officer Thomas Peay was dispatched to North Sloan Street at 9:53 yesterday morning as a woman wanted an officer to stand by as she retrieved items from her house. The officer noted the woman was crying and seemed very upset. She reportedly had small cuts and bruises on her face and a swollen bottom lip. When he inquired about the injuries she reportedly told of being assaulted the previous night by her boyfriend, and at one point was locked in the closet, then eventually let out when her kids woke up and began to cry. The boyfriend was reported to have been intoxicated and did not remember the events of the night. The 30-year-old man was being held in Clinton City Jail overnight, pending charges expected to be served this morning.
