On June 9, 2023, at 12:49 a.m., Norfolk Police were called to the area of 3rd Street and Norfolk Avenue for a disturbance between a male and female.  A Nebraska State Trooper was in the area and had been flagged down by the female.  The male was identified as Shannon L. Vowell, 45, of Norfolk.  The female victim told officers that she was walking in downtown Norfolk, when Vowell drove by her.  He stopped his vehicle and started to follow her attempting to speak with her.  The victim did not want contact with him and attempted to call the police, but he took her phone.  A witness stated that it appeared Vowell was getting physical with the victim as she was screaming for help and trying to walk towards her apartment.  Vowell was in front of her preventing her from doing so.  The witness said Vowell raised his hands up and then struck the victim.  The victim denied being struck, but that Vowell tried to grab her.  Vowell was placed under arrest for third-degree domestic assault.  He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
