A Gardnerville man was arrested for domestic battery after deputies responded to his home early Christmas morning.
Dennis P. Vereschagin, 33, was arrested after his wife told deputies he headbutted her, breaking her glasses and possibly her nose.
She had to be taken for medical treatment.
Vereschagin is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail. He asked for release on his own recognizance, but was denied.
According to the sheriff's report, Vereschagin had been drinking.
