The Warren man accused of assaulting his wife at a Smithfield bus stop is scheduled to appear at trial on July 30.
Derrick Pfeiler, 31, of Warren, faces domestic assault and domestic disorderly conduct charges after a Smithfield Police officer arrested him on May 1 at about 1 p.m.
According to police reports, Patrol Ofc. Michael Proulx went to the Alpine Hotel to investigate a report of an assault.
When he arrived, Proulx wrote, he found Pfeiler walking away from a nearby bus stop, where he also saw a woman sitting and crying.
Proulx reported that Pfeiler denied hitting the victim, his wife, though she and a witness told Proulx that Pfeiler had thrown her into a telephone pole.
