Nevada Police Department: investigated a pair of assaults

Nevada police officers investigated a pair of assaults on W. Hickory Street last Friday. Sgt. Steve Bastow says a 25-year-old woman told police she was grabbed by the neck and thrown to the floor of a home in the 300 block of W. Hickory about 3:40 p.m. Friday. Police arrested a 29-year-old male suspect and have applied for a warrant. The other assault occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. Friday at a home in the 1600 block of W. Hickory. Sgt. Bastow says officers were told a woman had taken her husband's vehicle from his work-place in Kansas and, when the husband arrived at the home to retrieve personal property from the vehicle, he was attacked by a 31-year-old man. The husband fled the home in the 1600 block of W. Hickory to the Nevada Police Department, 120 S. Ash, and was taken to Nevada Regional Medical Center, by ambulance, for treatment. Sgt. Bastow says that investigation continues.
