James Persad, 46, was arrested Thursday on a domestic violence charge, according to online arrest records. He was being held in jail on Friday on $60,000 bond.

Before leaving the house, he kicked her in the stomach, the report said. A deputy who arrived on scene said he observed “slight redness” to her face consistent with a strike, the affidavit said.
There was an active injunction prohibiting Persad from coming into contact with his wife, but he recently moved back into the home, according to the complaint.
