Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers reports the arrest Monday evening of 29-year old Edward DaWayne Mayes, of Clarinda. Mayes was taken into custody after officers responded to a reported domestic disturbance taking place at the Meadow Run Apartments. When they arrived shortley after 6-p.m., their investigation determined an 18-year old female had suffered a minor injury resulting from an alleged assault,  but the woman did not require or seek medical treatment.

Officers noted the door to the apartment sustained an estimated $500.00 damage during the altercation. Mayes was arrested without incident on a felony domestic abuse assault charge, and a charge of misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was booked into the Page County Jail and held without bail, pending an initial appearance before the Magistrate. The incident remains under investigation by the Clarinda Police Department and has been forwarded to the Page County Attorney’s Office for review.
