Loudon man drags woman

Bowen opened the door to see a male walk out of the home and point inside to where the yelling was coming from. Marty Allen Newman, 46, rushed to the door at the officer and made a fist. Bowen commanded Newman to stop, but he refused. Newman swung at Bowen, who then deployed his taser. Only one probe struck Newman in the arm.

“Mr. Newman then fell to the ground where he continued to resist,” Gray wrote in his report. “Mr. Newman then began attempting to get back on his feet continuing to actively fight with officers.”

Gray deployed his taser, causing Newman to fall back to the ground, but he continued to resist. Bowen then drive-stunned Newman in the back. Newman began to comply with commands and placed his hands behind his back.

Gray and Bowen searched Newman and found a red and yellow pipe used to smoke marijuana in his pocket.

The woman told Gray that Newman had been screaming at her because he thought she had been cheating on him. She said Newman turned violent, throwing her to the ground and began dragging her by her hair throughout the house. A witness said she was in her room when she heard Newman yell at the victim. She went to the other room and found Newman dragging the woman by her hair. The witness said she attempted to get Newman off the woman, but Newman acted as if he was going to punch her. The witness ran to a neighbor’s home to call police.

Newman was charged with two counts of domestic assault-misdemeanor, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia and held on $6,000 bond.
