A Pittsburgh police officer was scheduled to appear in city court today on accusations he assaulted his girlfriend and dumped her on a Strip District curb after dinner at a Penn Avenue eatery.
It's the second time Alphonso Charles Sloan, 38, of Stanton Heights has been arrested in connection with domestic violence charges against his girlfriend, according to a criminal complaint.
Police charged Sloan and Yvonne Williams-Hill, 25, of the Hill District with simple assault. Williams-Hill — who also was previously charged with domestic violence against Sloan, police said — is scheduled to appear in court today, as well.
Williams-Hill told officers she and Sloan were dining at Gene's Last Chance Bar around 10 p.m. July 13. Sloan left the establishment before Williams-Hill finished eating, a criminal complaint states, and only returned after Williams-Hill called him and demanded that he take her home.
Sloan told police he ditched Williams-Hill because she was drunk, court records state.
According to the criminal complaint filed against Sloan:
An argument ensued inside Sloan's vehicle, and he demanded Williams-Hill get out. When she refused, Sloan began striking her "with open hands" and Williams-Hill defended herself "with her raised arms." Sloan then exited the vehicle and yanked Williams-Hill from the front passenger seat by her feet and legs at the corner of Liberty Avenue and 24th Street. He threw one of her shoes in a nearby parking lot.
Police said Williams-Hill suffered minor abrasions on her elbows during the tussle.
Another driver called 911 after finding Williams-Hill lying in the street.
"I was assaulted by my boyfriend," the complaint states Williams-Hill told the woman. "He is a cop."
On July 14, Sloan told police Williams-Hill began verbally and physically assaulting him with her fist and a shoe after he agreed to take her home, a criminal complaint filed against Williams-Hill states. Sloan claims Williams-Hill bit him twice while he attempted to remove her from his car.
Williams-Hill further attacked Sloan outside the car "by ripping his shirt off his back," the complaint states.
