A Maryland man who was released from jail with no bail requirement after allegedly beating up a woman went back to the victim’s home and assaulted her again, according to officials.
James Bowman III, 40, was arrested Nov. 7 in Waldorf, Maryland, for domestic-related assault after he allegedly punched a woman in the face and bit her hand, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
A district court commissioner released Bowman from the Charles County Detention Center on his own recognizance following his arrest, meaning he didn’t have to post bail.
Bowman was released under the condition that he doesn’t abuse the woman he allegedly punched and bit.
