An Arkansas man was arrested after he allegedly kicked his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach during a domestic dispute.
According to reports, last month, a pregnant woman who lives in Gassville with her boyfriend and their children let one of her friends borrow a car. The vehicle belongs to her boyfriend, and the couple got into an argument about the amount of gas that was used. Shortly after the fight began, the man reportedly made an offensive comment about their children. After asking him to stop saying such things, the man allegedly became physically aggressive and pushed his girlfriend. When the woman lost her balance, he reportedly kicked her in the stomach.
The authorities were notified, and officers from the Mountain Home Police Department, in addition to first responders in an ambulance arrived at the scene. The woman, who had bruises on her stomach believed to have come from the incident, was taken to Baxter Health for medical assessment and care. According to reports, she was told that everything should be okay since her pregnancy is not that far along.
