Dubuque, Iowa — Local authorities arrested a 40-year-old Dubuque resident early Friday morning following a domestic disturbance at a Nevada Street address that reportedly left a child injured.

According to public arrest records, officers responded around 12:18 a.m. on June 19, 2026, on Nevada Street in Dubuque. The incident led to the arrest of Jeik Flores, also identified in records as Flores Jeik or Jeik Flores Nmn, who resides at the property on Nevads Street .

Flores has been charged with two misdemeanor offenses under Iowa law:

•  Domestic Abuse Assault – Simple Misdemeanor: This charge generally applies when there is intentional physical contact or a credible threat of harm that causes injury or places another person in reasonable fear of injury within a domestic relationship. Iowa statutes define domestic relationships broadly, encompassing spouses, intimate partners, household members, and family relations. The law aims to provide swift protection in situations involving ongoing interpersonal dynamics where power imbalances or repeated patterns may exist.

•  Child Endangerment (Misdemeanor): This charge stems from situations in which an adult knowingly places a child in a situation that creates a substantial risk of physical injury, emotional harm, or both. In this case, authorities indicated that a child was injured during the domestic incident, prompting the additional count.

The arrest is documented under report number AR 2026004013. As of the latest available information, these remain preliminary charges, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
