A Maricopa man wanted on suspicion of domestic violence turned himself in today after a search of a Glennwilde neighborhood Monday.

According to the Maricopa Police Department, James Brandon Austin,34, went to his attorney’s office in Phoenix, where he was arrested at approximately 2 p.m.

“He is currently being processed and will be transported to the Pinal County Adult Detention Center and booked on several felony charges under the domestic violence statute,” MPD spokesman Ricardo Alvarado said.

MPD officers were called to a location on Porter Road around 4:30 p.m. Monday on a report of an aggravated assault. The address is listed as 18700 N. Porter Road, which is Leading Edge Academy. Officers later found the Nissan Cube belonging to Austin on a Glennwilde street and searched the area.

No one in the neighborhood reported seeing Austin, and MPD could not locate him until they were contacted Tuesday.

MPD released no more details about the case.
