A Manitowoc man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly beat his girlfriend.
According to a police report, officers with the Manitowoc Police Department were dispatched to an apartment in the 400 block of North 9th Street at around 7:30 AM on Sunday (March 7th) after a woman called saying she was in danger.
The victim told police that her boyfriend, a 30-year-old man, had beat her.
She said the incident came after she had created a fake Facebook profile of a woman and contacted the man attempting to meet up with him. The man reportedly took the bait and became upset with her when he learned she had been behind the phony profile.
The woman received medical treatment for her injuries, and the man was arrested on charges of Substantial Battery, Strangulation and Suffocation, and Criminal Damage to Property, each with a Domestic Violence enhancer.
