SYRACUSE — A Warsaw man was arrested for allegedly punching a man multiple times.
Donald Leon Combs, 50, 440 Wexford Place, Warsaw, is charged with domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury and domestic battery with a prior conviction, both level 6 felonies; domestic battery and two counts of resisting law enforcement, all class A misdemeanors; and criminal mischief, a class B misdemeanor.
On July 7, Syracuse and Milford Police officers responded to a fight in progress in Syracuse. Upon arrival, the Syracuse officer saw Combs flee the scene on foot. The officer pursued Combs, who resisted arrest.
According to court documents, a man said he asked Combs to leave a residence since he was extremely intoxicated. Combs allegedly punched the man in the right eye multiple times. Officers noticed the man’s right eye was swollen and had cuts on his eyelid and right elbow.
When the man went into a residence, Combs grabbed a piece of wood and threw it at a sliding glass door, shattering the glass.
A witness said Combs drank several alcoholic beverages and punched the man in the face multiple times.
Combs was previously convicted of battery in Kosciusko County in April 2010.
Combs has already been arrested and released on his own recognizance.
