A Union man ended up in jail after he allegedly admitted — twice — that he hit a woman with a flip-flop and then slapped a phone from her hand because she called 911.

Devlann Keith Rice, 23, 126 E. Lee St., Union, is charged by the Union Public Safety Department with criminal domestic violence.

The incident report states an officer was dispatched Monday night to 221 E. Main St., Apt. 204, Union, in reference to a domestic disturbance. When he arrived on the scene, the officer was met by a second officer and together they approached the apartment. As they did, the report states they heard a verbal altercation between a man and a woman with the woman shouting “You had not reason to throw a shoe and hit me.” The man replied, “Well, you had no reason to call the (expletive deleted) police over some stupid (expletive deleted).”

When the officers knocked on the door to the apartment, they were met by the victim and Rice. The officers observed that the victim was crying. The report states the victim said Rice had throw a flip-flop and struck her in the face. She said when she picked up the phone to call 911, Rice walked over and slapped the phone off the side of her face and onto the floor.

As the victim was making her statement, the report states she and Rice began arguing with Rice saying that he would not have done those things if the victim hadn’t called 911 over something stupid. When officers questioned Rice, the report states he again said he wouldn’t have thrown the shoe or slapped the phone off the victim’s face if she hadn’t called 911 over something stupid.

Officers then advised Rice he was under arrest for criminal domestic violence, handcuffed him and transported him to jail.

Assault And Battery

A Union was arrested for allegedly attacking another woman.

Glenda Rochell Rice, 35, 306 Arthur Boulevard, Union, is charged by the public safety department with assault and battery.

The incident report states that on Sunday morning an officer was called to 203 Tillman St., Union, in reference to an assault. The victim told the officer she was sitting on her porch talking on her phone when she was attacked by a black female wearing a pink shirt and with black, square-shaped purse slung over her shoulder. She said the woman her in the head and face with her hand and threw her to the ground and scratched her neck. The victim said another black female from 201 Tillman St. came over and pulled the woman off of her. She said the woman who attacked her then left walking down Tillman Street toward South Pinckney Street.

After describing the attack, the victim then told the officer that she had several knots on her head and a big scratch on her neck. The officer saw a scratch on the victim’s neck and took photos of her injuries.

The officer then went over to 201 Tillman St. to speak with the woman who broke up the fight. The woman told the officer that Rice had walked over to the victim’s yard and attacked the victim. She said she pulled Rice off of the victim.

Officers then began searching the area for Rice and found a woman matching her description walking across South Pinckney Street. When asked for her name the report states the woman identified herself as Rice. She was then placed under arrest and transported to jail.
