One domestic violence defendant was charged with simple assault, contempt and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon. He was held without bond and scheduled to return to court on July 27. 

A second domestic violence defendant was held due to his failure to appear for a probation hearing. The defendant is on probation for attempted threats to do bodily harm.
