A Marshall man charged with a felony for domestic assault after an incident on June 5 has a court appearance scheduled.

According to a probable cause statement, authorities were dispatched to a residence in Slater for a report of assault. A woman told authorities that another woman had allegedly been assaulted by James Cole. Officers made contact with the victim, who stated that the altercation started after she posted something on social media. Cole reportedly arrived at the victim’s residence afterward and struck the victim multiple times and threatened her children.

Authorities noticed injuries on the woman’s back, neck, and face. Cole reportedly left the scene before any officers were able to contract him. Authorities also noted that Cole is currently on parole for distribution of a controlled substance in a school zone. Cole also has a criminal history for animal abuse and domestic assault.

Court documents say Cole is charged with a felony for second-degree domestic assault. No bond has been granted at this time.

Cole has preliminary hearing set for 1:30 p.m. October 19 at Saline County Circuit Court.
