St. Louisan gets probation for JC assault

A St. Louis man has been placed on five years supervised probation for pleading guilty in a July assault case in Jefferson City.

Court documents show Anthony Curry, 20, was charged with second-degree domestic assault.

A charge of tampering with a witness was dismissed.

The incident occurred at a residence in the 1000 block of Elizabeth Street.

Curry allegedly assaulted a female by grabbing her hair, wrapping her hair in his hand to get a grip and then hitting her head against a wall in the kitchen. When officers arrived on the scene, Curry told the victim that if she was the one who called police he would "get out and kill her."

Officers said they noticed a mark on the victim's neck where she had been hit with a child's toy.

The victim later told police that Curry has connections to both Jefferson City and St. Louis, and if he gets out of jail or prison she will "disappear."

A friend of the victim told authorities that Curry had come to her house a few days before this incident and grabbed the victim and dragged her out of the house.
