A St. Joe man accused of beating up a pregnant woman pleaded guilty Monday.

Christopher Rowles, 29, was charged with 2nd-degree domestic assault, a class-d felony. He told the judge he argued with the victim after being up all night on drugs and said she’d found his stash. He admitted punching and choking her. The woman was five months pregnant at the time of the assault.

Rowles faces up to a maximum of seven years in prison when he’s sentenced June 12. Circuit Judge Patrick Robb ordered a sentence assessment report, as well as an assessment for the court’s domestic violence program.

Judge Robb denied a request to reduce the defendant’s bond, pointing out that Rowles violated the conditions of his bond earlier when witnesses said he had made contact with the victim. (read more here) Bail is currently set at $25,000 cash.
