WINONA, Minn. — A Winona woman, her face scabbed and still with a black eye, told police her boyfriend assaulted her three days earlier. Police found the boyfriend, Justus William Pomeroy, age 31, and arrested him. The woman said Pomeroy grabbed her by the throat, slammed her against a wall, and punched her probably 10 times in the face and head. She fell to the floor. Police found blood on a bedroom carpet, a wall, a dresser and on the pants and shirt she had been wearing. The assault was Saturday after an argument, she said. She made the report Monday about 5:20 p.m. Despite her injuries, the woman told police she hadn’t sought medical attention but would soon.
