A Warrenville man was charged Friday in connection with a violent assault involving a pregnant woman on Les Drive last month.
Matthew Alexander Fields, 22, is charged with first-degree domestic violence, pointing and presenting firearms at a person, resisting arrest and larceny, according to jail records.
On Sept. 17, Aiken County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to Les Drive to meet with the victim who said she was pregnant and claimed the suspect had just violently assaulted her, according to the report.
The victim said she and the suspect were lying in bed, when the woman's roommate knocked on the front door to be let inside; she said she got up to go to the door and the suspect started yelling at her, the report states.
The suspect threw the victim's cellphone out into the woods when she threatened to call police, then he "shoved her to the ground, stuck his hand in her mouth and stretched her lips open," according to the report.
The victim claimed she got to her knees and the suspect opened a folding knife, raised it over his shoulders like he was going to stab her and caused the victim to be in "fear for her life," the report states.
She also claimed the suspect hit her in the stomach, police reported.
The suspect then fled the scene after calling someone to come pick him up from the scene.
Investigators reported observing a cut on the victim's mouth and a "red carpet burn" on her knees.
Fields was arrested Friday and taken to the Aiken County detention center, where he is still being held Monday evening. His firearm and larceny charges stem from a separate event.
