NYSP: Western NY Man Assaulted Girlfriend at Taco Bell

A Western New York man faces a felony level contempt charge after assaulting his girlfriend inside a fast-food restaurant.

That is according to State Police who were called to the Taco Bell in Dunkirk, NY after a 911 call regarding a physical domestic incident at that location.

The city of Dunkirk, NY is located in Chautauqua County, approximately 30 miles North of Jamestown.

Troopers charged 33-year-old Stuart Elijah of Perrysburgh, NY on allegations of Aggravated Criminal Contempt (a class D felony), and third-degree Assault - a class A misdemeanor. Further, officials say Elijah has an active Order of Protection that required him to refrain from the victim, along with an active bench warrant from the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office.

EMS personnel were also called to the scene as the victim suffered a laceration to her head - she was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, state police officials said.

Elijah was processed on the charges and then transported to Chautauqua County Jail for arraignment proceedings.
