NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - A former chairman of a Rhode Island school committee faces domestic charges.
David Hanos Jr. was arrested Tuesday after authorities responded to an alleged domestic simple assault at a location that was redacted from the police report, Newport Daily News reported.
The victim told police Hanos broke her phone, pushed her into a wall and poured water on her head.
Hanos told The Daily News on Wednesday that it was a personal matter that would “blow over.”
Hanos resigned from the Newport School Committee in July 2018.
Hanos was arraigned and released on personal recognizance with a no-contact order.
A District Court date is scheduled for March 25.
