Police have accused a North Liberty man of abusing the mother of his child.

Tommy Jones, 49, was charged Sunday with domestic-abuse assault.

According to a North Liberty police complaint, Jones and the woman initially told police they had only a verbal dispute. The police spoke with the child in the house, who claimed she saw Jones hit the woman in the head.

The woman then admitted that Jones pulled her hair but denied being hit in the face or head. Jones has at least three prior domestic convictions, the complaint said.

Domestic-abuse assault is a Class-D felony.
