A 27-year-old Centralia woman has been ordered held without bond after being charged in Marion County Court with felony domestic battery.
Samantha Cook of North Poplar is accused of striking a family member in the face with his hand. She’s accused of striking her boyfriend multiple times while they were in her car on November 8th. Cook then allegedly reached across him, opened the door, and pushed him out of the vehicle. Police say the victim had no noticeable injuries.
In holding Cook without bond, the judge noted this victim was the same in an earlier domestic violence case and there was clear and convincing evidence Cook had committed the latest case.
Cook is due back in court on December first for a preliminary hearing and first appearance with her public defender.
