A 37-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges after Iron County sheriff’s deputies say he repeatedly assaulted a woman over several days, leaving her with a broken nose, injuries consistent with strangulation and other serious bodily injuries.
Conrad Deckeon Jimenez was arrested July 9 and booked into the Iron County Correctional Facility on two counts of second-degree felony aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of third-degree felony aggravated assault, along with misdemeanor charges of interfering with a peace officer, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to charging documents, deputies were called after a woman sought medical treatment for injuries authorities believed were the result of an assault by her domestic partner. Investigators said the woman initially declined to identify the suspect because she feared him.
Deputies located Jimenez later that day while responding to a report that he had returned to a property where he had been staying.
Jimenez allegedly attempted to leave in a vehicle and resisted deputies as they tried to take him into custody, requiring three deputies to place him in handcuffs.
During the arrest, deputies reported finding a THC vape in plain view inside the vehicle.
The woman alleged the abuse occurred over four to five days. She told police Jimenez threw cans of food at her, placed her in chokeholds, struck her repeatedly and threatened her with a razor blade. She also reported losing consciousness during some of the assaults, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, police observed bruising and other injuries across the woman’s body, including a broken nose and injuries around her neck and throat. Medical personnel also reportedly documented injuries that showed strangulation.
Deputies later executed a search warrant at the property, where they reported finding a razor blade matching the description given by the alleged victim, scattered food cans and marijuana-related items.
Investigators said Jimenez later admitted he had been involved in an altercation with the woman but declined to provide additional details.
