In an update to our previous reports, Police in Council Bluffs this (Friday) morning, said a man suspected in Wednesday morning’s assault of a woman who was jogging on the River’s Edge Park Service Road, south of the I-480 bridge underpass was taken into custody by Omaha Police, Friday. At around 3:23-a.m., Omaha officers came in contact with 25-year-old Dominic Henton, of Papillion, NE.,  near the 1300 Block of Cuming Street, at which time they found that he had a valid warrant through Pottawattamie County for Assault with the Intent to commit sexual abuse. Henton was arrested and then transported to Douglas County, NE. Corrections, where he was being held while awaiting extradition back to Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs Police had earlier stated surveillance video and other investigative means identified Henton as a suspect in the assault at around 10:53-a.m., Wednesday, of  former Arizona Senator Martha McSally.

McSally – a 57-year-old Air Force Veteran – said she fought off the attacker and chased him into the brush, but lost sight of him before officers arrived. Martha McSally  previously served in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. McSally served 26 years in the U-S Air Force, from 1988 to 2010, achieving the rank of Colonel. She was the first female pilot to fly in combat. During a U-S Senate hearing in 2019, McSally testified that she had been raped by a superior officer when she was in the military.
