(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports a man from Stuart was arrested on numerous charges at his residence, Saturday afternoon (Oct. 21st). The Sheriff’s Department says 53-year-old Donald James Noggle was taken into custody a little before 1-p.m., and charged with: 2 counts of Domestic Abuse Assault w/bodily injury – 1st offense; False Imprisonment; Obstruction of Emergency Communications; Interference with Official Acts, and Public Intoxication. He was released on his Own Recognizance (ROR) after making an initial appearance before the magistrate.

Authorities say a Stuart Police Officer responded to 508 S. Gaines Street in Stuart, following a report of a domestic assault between a woman and Donald Noggle. A Guthrie County Deputy was already on the scene in an alley behind the residence, speaking with Noggle, who hopped onto a bicycle and proceeded north in the alley. The Deputy followed in his patrol vehicle and was ordered to stop and pull over. While riding his bike, the Deputy noticed Noggle was drinking a can of beer. The Deputy was eventually able to corner Noggle and remove him from the bicycle.

When asked why he didn’t pull over, Noggle said he “Didn’t want to deal with us [law enforcement].” An interview with the female victim determined Noggle came by and began pounding on the patio door. When she refused to let him in, he pushed past her and began yelling about wanting cigarettes before trying to get her phone when she threatened to call the police. The woman said Noggle pushed her down and held her, preventing her from leaving. She said she had a hard time breathing while he held her down. The woman gave Noggle the phone and told him to leave, but he smashed it against a table.

As a result of the altercation, the woman suffered a cut to her right hand, which the deputy noted was bleeding and swollen. The woman said she ran to a neighbor’s house and asked them to call 9-1-1. The woman’s phone was located and had sustained significant damage that was beyond repair. The loss was estimated at $100. Saturday’s altercation between Noggle and the woman was the second to have occurred. Authorities say the law enforcement arrived at around 9:30-p.m. Friday at the same residence, where Noggle allegedly pushed the woman, causing her shoulder pain.

Before a deputy could speak with Noggle about Friday’s incident, Noggle had some sort of medical issue that required him to be transported to a medical facility.
