A man was charged after he allegedly assaulted a woman at a Kingdom City hotel on Feb. 28 and March 1.
Richard Allen Tripp, 34, of New Bloomfield, was charged on Monday with first-degree domestic assault, two counts of third-degree domestic assault and one count of tampering with a victim in a felony prosecution. He was booked into the Callaway County Jail on Monday evening.
The victim allegedly told law enforcement on March 13 that Tripp assaulted her multiple times during their stay at the Quality Inn in Kingdom City, according to the probable cause statement.
The victim allegedly told law enforcement that she was strangled to the point of losing consciousness and claimed Tripp said he was going to kill her, court documents say.
Tripp also allegedly assaulted the victim while she was driving on Interstate 70 on March 1, court documents say. Law enforcement reviewed medical reports from University Hospital that detailed several injuries, the statement says.
Trip is also charged in Randolph County for allegedly assaulting the same victim. He was charged on March 31 with first-degree property damage and third-degree domestic assault.
He posted a $5,000 bond in that case on April 10 and a hearing was scheduled for Monday.
