Name released in Dollar Bay assault

HOUGHTON, MI--   The Houghton County Sheriff’s Department has released the name of the man arrested for domestic violence in Dollar Bay over the weekend.  

Deputies say Nima Nassiri, 34, is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.  He remains lodged in the Houghton County Jail on a $5 million bond. 

Nassiri is accused of assaulting a 27-year-old woman Sunday night.  She was taken to Portage Hospital, then transferred to Marquette General Hospital for treatment.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 20 in Houghton County District Court.
