The Storm Lake Police Department arrested a Sioux City man following a disturbance last week.
Authorities say officers were called around 9:50 p.m. Wednesday to an apartment complex on East Milwaukee Avenue, where they found a female victim suffering from facial injuries. Police allege 30‑year‑old Colten Stroman had been intoxicated and arguing with the woman.
Investigators report Stroman left the apartment, displayed a knife, and threatened to kill a male victim outside. He then allegedly forced his way back inside, broke down the door, and punched the woman. Two minor children were present during the incident.
The victim was taken by ambulance to Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake, where police say she was treated for broken facial bones.
Officers located Stroman inside the apartment. He allegedly resisted arrest but was subdued and taken into custody.
Stroman faces multiple charges, including first‑degree burglary, willful injury, assault while participating in a felony, two counts of child endangerment, domestic assault, and several other felony and misdemeanor offenses.
He was booked into the Buena Vista County Jail and held without bond.
