Joseph Brent Doiron, 39 of Rome, was arrested this week after reports said he beat his 35 year-old girlfriend in the face.
Police said that Doiron struck the victim on the right side of her jaw during a verbal altercation. Police stated that the victim was on a video chat at the time, allowing another person to witness the assault.
Doiron is then accused of banging on a bathroom door after the victim attempted to lock herself inside so that she could protect herself.
Doiron is charged with simple assault.
