A man told Kent Police he became upset with his girlfriend when she accused him of cheating on her with another woman because he said she knew he dated other women, including as many as 10 at a time.<\/p>\n
The man said he told his girlfriend they weren’t married so he could do whatever he wanted.<\/p>\n
Officers arrested the man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly punched his girlfriend in the face during a dispute about cheating at around 11:02 a.m. on Nov. 19 at an apartment in the 10800 block of Southeast 240th Place, according to the police report.<\/p>\n
The woman called 911 initially to report her boyfriend had stolen her car, but the man returned home by the time police arrived at the apartment.<\/p>\n
The man reportedly yelled at his girlfriend to leave the apartment after she became upset about his cheating on her. She refused to go, so he grabbed her purse and dumped the contents onto the ground.<\/p>\n
When interviewed by officers, the boyfriend denied he hit his girlfriend. He claimed she attacked him, punched him and bit him on the arm. Officers noted that the woman had a bloody lip and a bruised eye and cheek. The boyfriend had what police described as a superficial bite mark on his arm.<\/p>\n
