DES MOINES, Iowa — A plea hearing has been scheduled for a Des Moines man charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his partner during a dispute.
The Des Moines Police Department says patrol officers were called to an apartment complex in the 2800 block of Grand Avenue around 11 p.m. on January 23 on reports of a domestic dispute. While en route, DMPD dispatch received a second call reporting someone had been stabbed.
Authorities arrived on the scene and located the victim in the stairwell of the complex. The victim had lost a lot of blood, and officers began administering first aid, including a tourniquet to stop blood loss. First responders arrived on scene, and the victim was transported to the hospital, where care continued, and they were expected to recover.
Des Moines Police officers arrested the alleged suspect, 43-year-old Lewis Henry Miller, near the scene. Miller was initially charged with Domestic Abuse Assault – 3rd or Subsequent Offense and Willful Injury Causing Serious Injury.
