The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a felony child abuse charge against a Webb City man who allegedly beat his 16-year-old girlfriend while she was driving on Rangeline Sunday.
A warrant was issued today for the arrest for Noah Duley, 18, with bond set at $3,500 cash or surety. A condition of the bond is that Duley is to have no contact with the alleged victim.
The alleged crime began in the parking lot at Freeman West Hospital with Duley "slapping, punching and slapping" the girl, according to the probable cause statement.
From the statement:
V1 left the parking lot of Freeman Hospital and began traveling east bound on W 32nd
Street and then to S Range Line Road. W 32nd Street is a four-lane highway with a
turning center lane. The speed limit is 40 mph with moderate to heavy traffic during the
day. S Range Line Road is a four-lane road with a center turning lane in some areas and a
raised concrete median in other areas.
While V1 was driving, Noah continued to strike V1 with an open hand to the right-side of her face. V1 advised some strikes were forceful enough that her head would then strike the driver-side window. V1 would “black-out” at times while driving due to the force of strikes from Noah.
V1 feared crashing so she pulled off the roadway on S Range Line Road.
V1 is a 16-year-old juvenile. Noah and V1 are boyfriend / girlfriend and involved in a romantic relationship
