Muhammad Magbool

A 29-year-old Belmont parolee accused of assaulting and holding his girlfriend in their home and fighting officers who responded to her call for help pleaded no contest to felony domestic violence and misdemeanor resisting arrest.

Muhammad Akmed Harron Magbool Jr., 29, also admitted having a prior criminal strike which will play a role in sentencing at a Feb. 26 hearing. The other terms of the deal were not available. He was originally charged with other counts of false imprisonment, vandalism and battery but those were dropped as part of the negotiated settlement.

Belmont police arrested Magbool in early November after receiving an early-morning call from a woman claiming her boyfriend assaulted her during an argument around midnight and wouldn't let her leave their residence on the 1000 block of Old County Road.

When officers contacted Magbool, who was in front of the residence, he allegedly tried fleeing and fought them. Once inside the patrol car, prosecutors say Magbool kicked out the side window.

Magbool remains in custody on $500,000 bail and a no-bail parole hold. He was previously convicted of robbery.
