A warrant was issued in early August for 33-year-old Marshall Arms after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, Victoria, when she refused to use the last of their money on drugs. According to the victim, Arms struck her with an open palm and ripped some of her clothes while fighting on the ground. He then fled the scene before officers arrived.
The outstanding warrant was served on September 28, and Arms was brought into custody. During his stay in the Montgomery County Jail, Arms reportedly broke part of the fire suppression system and caused flooding throughout the unit. Marshall was the only person in the cell at the time and received an additional charge of vandalism.
