Update: Police Arrest Eagan Man Sought in Assault of Woman, 7-Year-Old Boy

An for repeatedly assaulting his girlfriend and slamming a 7-year-old boy against the wall was arrested Wednesday in Minneapolis. 

Elliott Hammons III, 28, is charged with four felonies: stalking, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine; and making terroristic threats, domestic assault and malicious punishment of a child, each of which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. 

Police say Hammons’ most recent attack happened on Sept. 6, when Hammons grabbed the victim by her throat, pushed her onto a bed and grabbed her face and eye. When she tried to call 911, Hammons told her she wasn’t calling anyone, and threatened to break her neck and “[expletive] her up,” according to the complaint.

Hammons then went into a bedroom where the victim’s 7-year-old son was sleeping, picking him up and slamming him against the wall, then shaking him and calling him names, the complaint says.

Court documents indicate that the victim repeatedly sought protection orders against Hammons, and repeatedly asked for them to be revoked. At the time of the Sept. 6 attack, according to the complaint, there was no such order in place.

Hammons remained in the Dakota County Jail Wednesday. He is scheduled to make a first appearance on the charges Thursday in Dakota County District Court in Hastings.
