A Warsaw man is facing felony charges after police say he battered a woman and her 6-year-old son.
Seth Aaron Carl Allen, 27, of 939 E. Fort Wayne St., Warsaw, is facing charges of domestic battery to a person less than 14 years of age and domestic battery in the presence of a child, both level 6 felonies.
Police say on Tuesday, the victim’s child woke up and wanted something to drink.
Allen became angry with him and went into the child’s bedroom. Police allege Allen grabbed the child and threw him on the bed and put his hand over his mouth, charging documents state.
The mother, concerned for the safety of her son, started toward Allen. She told police that Allen grabbed her around the neck and threw her to the floor, according to court documents.
Allen then closed the bedroom door and dared the boy to come out of the room. Allen threatened to make things worse if the child’s mother called the police or told anyone.
Allen was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail Wednesday afternoon. He is currently out on bond.
