Boyfriend detained in woman’s assault

A bleeding woman ran to police officers Monday and told them her boyfriend threatened to “blow her head off” while brandishing a weapon, according to a police report.

North Little Rock police officers responding to a domestic-disturbance call Monday met a woman who had a “significant swelling and blood coming from her head from numerous places,” the report said.

The woman said Steven Allen Washington, 48, had struck her multiple times with a closed fist and pistol-whipped her with the black rubber part of his gun, officers reported.

When officers arrived on 110 West 15th Street, Washington appeared to be intoxicated, the report said. Officers arrested Washington, who refused to provide his name or birth date, and spoke to a witness of the assault who said Washington had dragged the woman out of the house by her hair.

In the residence, officers found multiple weapons — at least one of which had been reported stolen in North Little Rock, the report said.

Washington was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, domestic battery, possession of firearms by a convicted felon, theft by receiving, violation of a protection order, obstructing government operations and public intoxication, the report said.

Officers transferred him to the Pulaski County jail, but it was unclear if he was still in custody.
