Des Moines, Iowa (KCCI) Iowa — The Des Moines Police Department on Monday confirmed that a man wanted in the brutal assault of a woman in Des Moines in November has been captured.

Police had been looking for 25-year-old Ricardo Jeremiah Carroll since November. He was wanted in a brutal assault that lasted for several hours when a woman was “intentionally, punched, kicked, choked, and burned,“ police said.

Des Moines police said Monday that Carroll was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Boone County Saturday. He’s being held in the Boone County Jail on those charges and Des Moines police warrants.

In November, police said Carroll will be charged with attempted murder, and two counts of willful injury.
