Assault Charges
A Richmond man faces an assault charge after attacking another man after a weekend gathering. Stearns County Sheriff's deputies and officers with the Cold Spring and Richmond Police Department were dispatched to a home in the 17000 block of County Road 43 just before 3:00 a.m. on Saturday. The location is north of Eden Valley. The caller reported to authorities that he had been assaulted. Officers arrived to find 41-year-old Osman Peralta and another man at the location. Peralta was shirtless with scratches on his chest and face. The other man had a cut on his finger. The criminal complaint says the man, identified as J.L.P., told officers that Peralta had assaulted a third man. Peralta claimed J.L.P. assaulted him. Officers called the victim to the scene to interview him. They say he arrived with a large cut above his eye, a swollen face, and blood clots coming from his nose. The victim said it was his birthday, and they had been grilling earlier in the night before going to bed. The victim said he got up later to take the trash out, and when he walked through the living room, Osman began kicking and punching the victim. He said Osman also struck J.L.P. when he tried to intervene. The victim went to the emergency room for treatment, and Osman was booked into the Stearns County Jail on suspicion of felony 3rd-degree assault causing substantial bodily harm. Court records don't indicate a motive behind the assault.
