Cowarts, Ala. (WDNews) — A Cowarts man accused of brutally attacking his estranged wife has been denied bond.
Latarius Dale was in court on Tuesday, Jan. 11, where his bond request was denied. He is facing one count of first-degree domestic violence.
Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza previously stated that Dale repeatedly struck his estranged wife in the head, face, and torso with a claw hammer before fleeing the scene in Lovetown. Authorities say he later crashed his vehicle and was transported to a hospital for treatment. Upon his release, he was identified as the suspect and arrested.
The victim was also hospitalized under a trauma alert the following morning. Authorities previously reported she was in stable condition. Since the attack, a protective order has been filed on her behalf.
This case remains under investigation.
