Matthew Brian Hamilton, 38, of 628 Fifth Ave., remains locked up in the county prison on charges of simple assault and harassment that stem from him allegedly punching his sister in the face and the side of the head, leaving her with a black eye and causing bleeding from her forehead during a disturbance in the family’s home on April 19, according to city police. Hamilton has since waived his preliminary hearing before District Judge Aaron Biiichle and is jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail.

In another case, while in an extremely-intoxicated state, Jose Michael Marshall punched his girlfriend numerous times and bit her twice on the leg in the apartment they share at the Newberry Estates, 2500 Federal Ave., on Sunday night, city police said. When officers arrived on the scene and tried to talk to him, Marshall walked away and started “yelling at a neighbor,” police alleged. Marshall, 33, was taken into custody and arraigned before District Judge Gary Whiteman on charges of simple assault, harassment, possession of marijuana and public drunkenness. He was jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail.

In another case, Basil M. Doamaral, 35, of 1675 Andrews Place, has been incarcerated on charges of simple assault and felony trespassing for allegedly entering his ex-girlfriend’s city apartment and then hitting and slapping the woman and spitting on her on May 8. Following his arraignment last week before District Judge William Solomon, Doamaral was jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail.
