Fairfield police are investigating a domestic incident that led to an arrest over the weekend.
Officers were called on April 3rd to the 500 block of West Jackson Avenue following reports of a woman screaming in the area. When officers arrived, they determined the situation involved a male and female who live together at the residence.
Police conducted interviews with both individuals, along with witnesses nearby. Following the investigation, officers determined that the female allegedly assaulted the male resident.
Authorities also discovered that a 6-month-old child had been left unattended inside the home, where multiple safety hazards were present.
Police arrested 28-year-old Charity Lynn Dakota Stropes of Fairfield in connection with the incident.
Stropes is facing charges of domestic assault, third or subsequent offense, a Class D felony, and child endangerment, an aggravated misdemeanor.
She is currently being held at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility without bond, pending an initial court appearance.
Officials remind the public that a criminal charge is merely an accusation, and all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
