On Feb. 26, Dayton police were called to the 1600 block of Darst Avenue on a domestic call. When they got to the scene, they could hear yelling coming from inside the home.
Officers had to force the door to the residence and when they did, they found a woman suffering “from several obvious injuries,” according to an affidavit and statement of facts filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
