Monett man sentenced for assaulting ex-girlfriend

(From the Newton County Prosecuting Attorney)

A Newton County man has been sentenced to prison after entering a guilty plea to Domestic Assault in the Second Degree against an ex-girlfriend.

Adan Reveles, 29, of Monett, Missouri was sentenced to confinement for four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections by Charles Genisio of the 40th Judicial Circuit after pleading guilty as charged.

The charges stemmed from an investigation into a suicidal subject at a mobile home park on Highway 43 in Newton County. 

When deputies from the Newton County Sheriff’s Office arrived on scene, they located a domestic assault victim, whose name is not being released pursuant to office policy. That victim told the deputy that Reveles strangled her with both hands around her neck and separately placed his arm around the victim’s neck, restricting her airway to the point where she could not breathe. The deputy on scene noted numerous marks around the victim’s neck and other injuries that were consistent with her statement.

“Adan Reveles will now serve a prison sentence for his conduct. Accountability is essential to public safety, and this sentence reflects the seriousness of this offense,” said William Lynch, Newton County Prosecuting Attorney. 

“Justice must be exacting and this defendant, despite having no prior convictions, is receiving a just sentence. I appreciate the diligent work of our law enforcement partners and the patience and courage of our victim.”

This case was investigated by the Newton County Sheriff’s Office and prosecuted by Nate Dally and William Lynch of the Newton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
