Officers from the Frederick Police Department arrested a subject for assaulting his girlfriend with a firearm.
On 01/29/2015 at approximately 12:43PM, Officer Wolf of the Frederick Police Department was dispatched to an assault that occurred earlier. OFC Wolf was advised by the female victim that she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, identified as Donald Lee Tucker, several days ago. The victim stated she was struck in the face with a handgun and choked repeatedly while in the suspects’ residence. The victim sustained injuries consistent with her statement.
