A Butler man is facing drug and assault charges after police said he assaulted three women.

Butler police charged Justin S. Thompson, 27, with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession and three counts of simple assault. He was placed in the county jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

According to an affidavit, officers were dispatched to a West North Street apartment on Nov. 21 and said they heard people screaming when they arrived.

When they entered the apartment, officers found a woman laying on the ground with a cut on her forehead and blood on the floor, and she pointed to a man, later identified as Thompson, as the person who caused her injury, according to the affidavit.

Thompson retreated to a back bedroom and was followed by officers, who placed him in handcuffs. Another woman, whose left cheek was swollen, then told police that Thompson punched her in the face, according to the affidavit.

A woman in a neighboring apartment told officers that she tried to intervene, but Thompson grabbed her and threw her back into her apartment, where she fell on to a coffee table and suffered scrapes on her elbow, according to the affidavit.

Police searched Thompson and found a knotted sandwich bag contained a large rock of crack cocaine and four individually packaged smaller rocks of crack, according to the affidavit.
