Russellville man faces domestic assault charges

The Cole County prosecutor's office has charged a Russellville man with two counts of second-degree domestic assault for an incident early Sunday morning.

Brett Bergman, 23, was being held on $50,000 bond in the Cole County Jail.

Records show the incident occurred in the 5400 block of Simpson Street in Russellville.

The female victim was found in a bedroom with the side of her face swollen and several lacerations on her arms. Bergman had a fractured right hand.

When asked if he could remember what happened, Bergman said he couldn't remember much after leaving a bar in Russellville, but did say he thought the female victim was cheating on him.

He did remember having a conflict with the victim in a bedroom and authorities found several amounts of blood on the floor there along with a wooden furniture leg with blood and hair that matched the victim's.
