Iowa Man Arrested for Beating Another Man With Metal Plate
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police have arrested a Dubuque man they say attacked another man more than six months ago with a weighted metal plate.
Thirty-seven-year-old Scott Skahill was arrested earlier this week on a warrant for assault with a dangerous weapon.
Court documents say that in early March police responded to a call at an apartment. When they arrived, officers found 40-year-old Arthur Petit bleeding from head wounds. They reported that blood clung to Petit's head, face and body and was spattered throughout the apartment.

No other details were immediately available.
