Anger over his girlfriend taking too long in the bathroom may have been enough to set off a 56-year-old Butler man, city police said.

Richard John Dortman is accused of attacking the woman and allegedly threatening to kill her during a suspected domestic fracas Wednesday morning at the couple’s home in the 300 block of West North Street.

Police later arrested Dortman, who is in the Butler County Prison on $10,000 bail. He is charged with simple assault.

The alleged victim, 36-year-old Lili Szymecki, suffered minor injuries including scratches on one arm and bruises on the other one, police said.
