Heinz charged with felony assault in domestic incident

Amanda Marie Heinz, 29, Pierz, was charged with one felony count of third degree assault with substantial bodily harm, and two misdemeanor counts of domestic assault.
The charges stem from a Dec. 16, 2015 incident in which officers were called to a domestic disturbance.
According to the criminal complaint, officers arrived on the scene and found a child yelling and screaming to not take his mom away.
A bloodied male complainant, who had made the call to police, was standing just outside the residence.
Inside, Heinz was allegedly yelling and crying, and claimed that she had been choked by the complainant.
Officers observed bloody hands and a cut on her elbow, and that her neck was red.
Officers spoke to the child, who allegedly stated that the pair had been fighting, and that the complainant had hit Heinz first, and attempted to suffocate her.
Officers spoke to the complainant, who allegedly was bloody, and had three large lumps on his forehead.
The complainant agreed that the fight started at the bar, and continued when they came home, but stated that Heinz allegedly hit him twice after he said the relationship was over.
After telling her he was calling the police, the complainant alleged that Heinz came outside of the apartment and hit him in the face, causing the lumps, bloody nose and a chipped tooth. He also alleged that neighbors came and said they saw what happened.
Officers interviewed a neighbor who allegedly saw the incident. The neighbor alleged that Heinz hit the complainant on the mouth, and the complainant walked away, and did not defend himself.
Both were transported to the hospital for treatment, where officers taped a statement from Heinz, where she admitted to the fight, and that both parties had choked each other. Heinz claimed her hitting of the complainant was for self defense.
Heinz allegedly later asked to talk to the complainant to say “sorry,” but officers advised against it.
Later officers were asked to tell Heinz to stop texting the complainant, and she complied.
If convicted, Heinz faces a maximum of five years in prison and/or $10,000 in fines for the felony charge, and a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or $1,000 in fines for each misdemeanor.
