9:56 p.m. Friday — A domestic dispute at a couple’s apartment on Zeigler Avenue left both boyfriend and girlfriend injured and behind bars.

The altercation started with an argument between Jonathan E. Cutwright, 21, and Natascha E. Goetz, 26, and escalated, according to Goetz, when Cutwright grabbed her phone and threw it.

Cutwright, however, blamed his girlfriend, accusing her of turning things physical and punching him about the head and chest, court documents said.

Goetz told police that her boyfriend also grabbed her by the hair and beat her in the head a number of times, and threw a glass, causing it to break and hit her wrist.

Police said each defendant had minor swelling on both sides of the head. Additionally, she had a small, superficial cut on the left wrist and he had scratch marks on the chest.

Cutwright and Goetz were both arraigned on charges of simple assault. They were placed in Butler County Prison on $5,000 bail each following arraignment.

Police said Wiles showed up about 3 p.m. at the house of a woman he knows. He was reportedly there to visit his dog. The woman told him to leave when he began acting under the influence of drugs, according to court documents.

He admitted taking prescription drugs, including Suboxone, documents said. He apparently did not have prescriptions for the medication.

When police asked for his identification, he gave his brother’s name. He also denied being on probation. But the woman who lives there contradicted him.

Officers arrested and searched him, turning up a suspected marijuana pipe in one of his pockets. In another pocket, documents said, police found a passport, which identified the defendant. Police learned that he was wanted on an bench warrant.

Wiles was arraigned on charges of false reports to incriminate another person, false reports to law enforcement authorities, defiant trespass, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
