Troopers arrested a man Sunday on assault and disorderly conduct charges after he allegedly punched his girlfriend’s sister in the face.
On April 12, a Kobuk woman reported that “she’d been punched in the face by her sister’s boyfriend,” according to an online Alaska State Troopers dispatch. The woman sustained “serious injuries,” troopers say, adding that alcohol was a factor.
AST says the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Tommy Lee Jones, could not initially be located when authorities responded. An arrest warrant was obtained and Jones was taken into custody on April 26 on a charge of second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
