A Lansford man faces simple assault and harassment charges following a domestic dispute May 24.

Michael Adams, 44, of Springgarden Street, remains in the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Nesquehoning in lieu of $20,000 bail, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled June 5.

According to court papers, police responded to the residence and found a woman holding a bloodied towel with injuries to her eye, nose and mouth.

She told police that the towel was to control the bleeding from her nose after being attacked by Adams. She also reported jaw pain and possible loose teeth.

She said that Adams was angry when he returned to the residence to find the door locked. The two had been arguing earlier in the evening and Adams had left for a time, court papers said.
