Welcome to Arrest Stories. A thirty-year-old man faces serious charges after allegedly assaulting a woman holding a child during a domestic dispute that escalated into violence on a Tuesday evening in Richland County. Here's what may have happened.
According to official reports, Sindarius Thornwell was arrested and charged with second-degree domestic violence and unlawful conduct toward a child following an incident that occurred on August twelfth on Glenn Village Road. The Richland County Sheriff's Department said the charges stem from a disturbing domestic violence case that unfolded around eight thirty in the evening.
The victim told deputies that Thornwell assaulted her while she was holding a child after an argument between the two escalated. According to the official narrative, the woman claimed Thornwell threw a cup of water at both her and the child, striking them in the head. The victim further alleged that Thornwell struck her in the back of the head during the confrontation.
When questioned by investigators, Thornwell reportedly denied hitting the victim but did admit to throwing a cup of water at them during the altercation. Deputies say they corroborated the victim's statement through additional evidence collected at the scene and obtained warrants for Thornwell's arrest.
Following his arrest, Thornwell was booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center with bond set at twenty-five thousand dollars. Records show he was awaiting a bond hearing following the Tuesday arrest.
Representatives for Thornwell issued a statement saying, "We are asserting Sindarius's innocence to these accusations and ask everyone to withhold judgment until this is resolved in a court of law."
The case highlights the serious nature of domestic violence incidents, particularly when children are present during alleged assaults. Deputies emphasized that their investigation included interviewing the victim and collecting physical evidence to support the charges filed against Thornwell.
