A Des Moines couple called to Lincoln High School to discuss a fight involving one of their offspring later became involved in a fight of their own.
Details of the fight at or near school were not immediately available, but after Angie and Andrew Long left the school on Tuesday, another fight ensued with Angie Long going to Iowa Lutheran Hospital for treatment of injuries and Andrew Long going to the Polk County Jail on assault charges.
Police said that when the Longs arrived at the school, Angie told Andrew to wait in the car. She went inside to meet with school staff.
When she returned to the car she learned that her husband “felt disrespected by being told to wait in the car,” police said. Andrew Long allegedly punched his wife in the face and choked her on the way home as she was driving. When she pushed him away he allegedly bit her finger, police said. Angie Long admitted biting him back, officials added.
When they reached their home in the 800 block of Southeast Eighth Street, Angie’s 17-year-old son, Jared Scott, heard a door slam and went outside to see his mother, police said. He asked what happened to her face and she told him that they needed to get away from Andrew.
Jared Scott went inside the house to get their dogs and was confronted by Andrew Long, police said. Andrew allegedly charged Jared and punches were thrown. Andrew reportedly tossed a coffee pot at Jared and it shattered on his shoulder causing a laceration.
Police said Jared and his mother left the house and called police.
Andrew Long was arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail where he was being held on Wednesday without bond. He is charged with domestic assault and assault causing bodily injury. His wife signed a no-contact order against her husband.
