PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County man was arrested on a felony assault charge, after his girlfriend accused him of attacking her while she recovered from open-heart surgery.
A pair of Pikeville Police officers were standing in the parking lot behind the station when a visibly upset woman approached them. The woman said her boyfriend, William Peterson, 46, of Pikeville, came home from work drunk and punched her in the chest.
The police report says woman was crying and having a hard time breathing, and she told the officers she’d just had surgery a month ago. She further alleged he grabbed her arm and took her phone when tried to call 911, leaving marks, and that he pushed her into a wall, causing her to hit her head.
The woman was checked out at the hospital and later admitted due to what the police report called a “traumatic heart injury,” caused by being hit in the chest.
Police found Peterson at the home and said he appeared intoxicated. He told police he only had a verbal argument with his girlfriend, but police noted his knuckles were red.
Peterson was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, a felony punishable by 10-to-20 years in prison.
