A Dubuque man has been sentenced to two years of probation after police said he hit his girlfriend with a vehicle and threatened her with a knife. 39 year old Marco Kemp was sentenced in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County after pleading guilty to a domestic assault charge. As part of a plea deal, charges of child endangerment were dismissed. Reports say that Kemp assaulted 40 year old Javon Davis multiple times on March 28th. The couple had been arguing when Davis exited their vehicle outside their residence and went into the back seat to retrieve some items. Kemp then put the vehicle in reverse and struck Davis. Davis hit Kemp, who then put the car in reverse again and tried to run Davis over, knocking her to the ground. Inside their residence moments later, Kemp struck Davis multiple times and threatened her with a knife in front of his 17-year-old son and the couple’s 5-year-old daughter.
