Auburn Man Arrested For Attacking Newlywed

AUBURN (CBS13) -- An Auburn man on parole pushed his wife down a set of stairs, vandalized her car and then chased her around the house with a knife before being arrested, according to police.

Auburn Police officers responded to the 1500 block of Mary Jane Court at about 4:17 a.m. on Tuesday after receiving two 911 calls of a domestic disturbance in progress.

An investigation determined that the suspect, 29-year-old William Bryan Jr., got into an argument with his wife of six months that escalated to the point where he allegedly pushed her down a set of stairs. He then allegedly vandalized her car parked in the driveway and cut of power to the residence from the breaker box outside.

Bryan then reportedly kicked open the front door, which was locked, grabbed a knife and chased his wife around the house and then outside, where she hid.

A detective located Bryan's car parked at a residence at Park Drive and Galena Drive in Auburn and found him hiding inside. He was placed under arrest and booked into the Placer County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon, felony vandalism and a parole hold.
