Around 2 p.m. Aug. 21 an officer responded to a residence in the 1300 block of 14th Street for a report of battery.

A woman said two days prior her former boyfriend was waiting outside her apartment when she got home.

She said he threw her to the ground and started kicking her in the ribs and dragged her around her apartment.
