Battery suspect summoned to appear in court

A man who allegedly intimidated and battered a woman in Jasonville is being summoned to appear in court for an initial hearing.

Russell Alsman, 33, Vincennes, will receive a summons to appear in Greene Superior Court in January for an initial hearing when he will be formally charged with: Battery resulting in bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor, and intimidation, a Class A misdemeanor.

The charges resulted from an investigation by Officer Jacob Gambill of the Jasonville Police Department into an incident that occurred on Saturday, October 31.

Officer Gambill was dispatched to a residence on South Meridian Street in Jasonville for a domestic involving a battery. A woman there said Alsman had grabbed her by the arm causing her pain and leaving marks.

Three people told Officer Gambill they had been out trick or treating when Alsman sent one of them a message that he was moving his things out after being told to leave. When they got back, Alsman was still there, then left, then returned. He was gone when the officer arrived.

When one of the three told Alsman several times to leave, he allegedly grabbed the woman by the arm and one of the others had to pry Alsman’s hand off the woman. Then while the woman was calling police, Alsman allegedly told her he was going to kill her.

Officer Gambill attempted to locate Alsman but was unsuccessful.

Last week, a criminal case was filed against Alsman and the summons was issued ordering him to appear in court.
