Roy was arrested and has now been charged with felony domestic assault. The charge is enhanced to a felony due to two prior domestic assault convictions on his record, according to court filings.
The case remains under investigation by Bemidji Police Department. Roy is being held pending his next court appearance in Beltrami County District Court.
