AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State reserve guard Charles Boozer has been arrested after a woman told police he slapped and kicked her.

Ames police commander Mike Brennan says Boozer was charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor, on Saturday afternoon in Ames.

A complaint accuses Boozer of slapping the woman in the face, pushing her to the ground and kicking her in the side.

Police say the victim had red marks on her face and a scratch on her leg.

Police say Boozer admitted arguing with the victim and pushing her. Boozer was taken to the Story County jail, where he posted a cash bond of $300 and was released Saturday.

Cyclones spokesman Mike Green says the school is still gathering facts about the situation.

A telephone message left Monday with Boozer wasn't immediately returned.
