An investigation determined that Rasheed and the woman had gotten into an argument and he had hit her in the face with a hot iron. It led to cuts and burns on the woman. Rasheed then allegedly began to beat the women.

The woman ran from the house and went to a neighbor’s house to call 911, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Rasheed remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He’s scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Nov. 3.
