The victim claimed that when Penson came home from playing Pokemon Go, he got into a fight with her, punched her in the face, and slammed her head until she lost consciousness.
She reportedly had a three-year-old child with her who witnessed the attack. At one point, the woman said she grabbed a pole and used it to defend herself.
Eventually, Penson was arrested, but maintains his innocence. While in custody, he claimed that he was acting in self-defense.
Penson has pleaded not guilty to the charges of one felony count of first-degree domestic assault and six felony counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
