A 9-1-1 call early this (Friday) morning in Pottawattamie County resulted in a man being arrested for Aggravated Domestic Abuse Assault by impeding air flow, and child endangerment. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says a Deputy was dispatched to a residence in the 100 block of E. Crocker Street in Avoca, at around 4:40-a.m. following a reported domestic incident.

Upon arrival, the Deputy made contact with a woman who told him her boyfriend was located in the upstairs bedroom. The boyfriend, identified as 33-year old Brent Michael Swisher, of Avoca, was questioned about the events that unfolded. Based on physical evidence at the scene and a separate interview conducted with the 45-year old female complainant who suffered apparent minor injuries, Swisher was placed under arrest at around 5:17-a.m.. Prior to being transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail, Swisher was taken to a Council Bluffs hospital for evaluation and treatment for anxiety.

The two-year old male child in the home was not injured during the incident.
