A 23-year-old Boonville man has been charged with a couple of felonies after a reported incident on July 23.
According to the a police report, authorities were contacted regarding a domestic assault in New Franklin. A woman told authorities she was at home in bed sleeping with her bedroom door locked at 10 a.m. She heard Tristan Rhorer in her house and told him to get out; he was not invited because they had broken up when he was in prison. Rhorer refused to leave and kicked open the bedroom door, grabbed the woman and began hitting her in the face and throwing her around the room. Rhorer told the woman he wanted her keys and two handguns. The woman would not give them to him, so Rhorer grabbed her and threw her against the wall; hit her several more times in her face; had his hands around her neck; stomped on her left foot; and took the keys to her car and house. The woman was able to get free and run to the basement, where she’s hid until Rhorer left. The woman said she was scared for her life.
Authorities noticed red marks around the woman’s neck and marks on both of her arms. Both of her eyes were bruised and swollen. Her left foot was swollen and bruised. She also had bruising under her right arm.
Rhorer, who refused to talk to authorities, has been charged with Class D Felonies for Burglary in the Second Degree and Domestic Assault in the Second Degree. Bond has been set at $20,000 cash only.
Rhorer was arraigned on Monday, July 27. A bond-reduction hearing is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, August 4, at Howard County Circuit Court.
