A Rock Rapids man is behind bars, facing felony charges for allegedly beating his girlfriend because she didn’t give him money. Lyon County Sheriff’s Office reports that about 5:30 P.M. on Sunday they investigated a domestic abuse case which occurred in Rock Rapids earlier that day, about 6:00 A.M.

Upon investigation, 29-year-old Matthew Jeremy Craig of Rock Rapids was arrested and charged with domestic abuse assault, a serious misdemeanor; willful injury, a class D felony; and robbery, a class D felony.

Court documents say that Craig assaulted his girlfriend after he asked her for money and she said she didn’t have any. He allegedly choked her, leaving bruises on her neck.
