MORE: Urbana man accused of robbing Springfield bank indicted
Springfield police started their investigation when they were called to a home on Allen Drive in reference to a woman being assaulted by her boyfriend.
“Upon arrival officers spoke with (a woman) who stated that she and her boyfriend Anthony Brim had been drinking,” the affidavit says. “She stated that they got into a physical altercation because Mr. Brim wanted to leave the residence.”
The woman told Brim she didn’t want him to leave and she shoved him away from her at the door, the affidavit says.
“…at which point, he grabbed her around the throat,” the affidavit says. “She then grabbed Mr. Brim by the throat, and they both fell to the floor. Mr. Brimm then grabbed a small wooden baseball bat and struck her in the head several times.”
The woman said Brim fled the scene after the incident, the affidavit says.
