(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man could face major time in prison for allegedly seriously injuring a woman during a beating.

 

Aaron Combs, 50, is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with multiple counts including Level 1 felony attempted murder.

 

Authorities said Combs on September 20 punched, kicked and slammed the head of the woman to the floor multiple times while telling her he was going to kill her at a home on Superior St.  Combs also lifted the woman two to three feet up off the floor by her hair and threw her down in a beating where he landed a dozen or more punches to her face.

 

The woman was taken to the hospital with injuries like multiple facial fractures and bleeding from a deep cut above one of her eyes.  

 

Police said Combs and the woman have been seeing and living with each other for over 20 years.    The investigation shows Combs and the woman had been at a bar together and he was upset over her coming home after leaving the establishment with another individual, police said.
