36-year-old Joseph Mickle was charged with domestic assault and interfering with an emergency call when he threw his girlfriend on the ground and slapped her in the face when she attempted to call 911.
On September 6th, MCSO Deputy Dennis Morgan was dispatched to 2264 Lock B Road North in response to what started out as a welfare check. While on the way, call takers heard screaming and cussing in the background of the call. E-911 had multiple callback attempts that either went to voicemail or were answered and hung up. Upon arrival, Deputy Morgan found Joseph Mickle holding his girlfriend, Erin Bonner, on the ground.
Erin advised that when she walked down the driveway in an attempt to call 911, Joseph came up to her, threw her on the ground, and slapped her in the face. Joseph admitted to throwing her on the ground in an attempt to keep her from walking down the highway.
Joseph Mickle was arrested and charged with domestic assault and interfering with an emergency call. His bond was set at $1,500.
