SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was arrested on Tuesday and charged with assault on a female and interfering with emergency communications.

Juvarius Markest White, 41, is alleged to have assaulted his girlfriend at a home on Springway Lane in Cleveland on Saturday. 

According to information from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, White, who works at Freightliner, was on a lunch break, when he went to his girlfriend’s residence and found her in a bedroom. Reports indicate that the scene turned ugly after allegations were lobbed of unfaithfulness. 

At that time, White allegedly got into her face and then grabbed her. Feeling threatened, she reportedly pushed him, attempted to get out of the bed and then called 911. 

Reports indicated that White then grabbed her arms and hung up the call, before throwing her to the floor. He reportedly left and returned the phone. 

Responding personnel noted that the victim had “red marks on her face, proximal to the jaw area. Consistent with trauma associated with the given statements.” 

There were also red marks on both arms and scratches consistent with the trauma. 

White’s bond was set at $5,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on March 11.
