MILTON, Ga. — Police arrested a Milton man Oct. 31 after his wife reported to police that an argument turned physical in front of their newborn daughter and her 1-year-old nephew.
The victim told police the suspect arrived home earlier that day intoxicated and that he kicked her right leg, then left. The victim said when he returned home three hours later, they got into another argument about him picking up their 2-month-old daughter, according to the police report.
The victim told police the suspect attempted to grab her cell phone to prevent her from calling 911 and reached for her neck with his right hand, strangling her until she couldn’t breathe. She said the suspect used his left hand to grab her right arm, putting it behind her back, then pushed her down while trying to remove her cell phone but that she was able to establish contact with 911 as she was being held down.
After speaking with dispatch, the victim told police the suspect fled the residence.
Based on the testimonial evidence and the victim’s injuries, police obtained warrants on the suspect for aggravated assault, obstruction of making emergency phone calls and cruelty to children in the third degree.
Police later arrested the suspect during a traffic stop after he failed to stop at a stop sign, then transported him to the North Fulton County Jail in Alpharetta.
