Strangulation | Domestic Related – On June 23 at 12:47AM, officers responded to a residence located in the 11400 block of Lucasville Rd in Manassas (20112) to investigate a 9-1-1 call. The investigation revealed that the accused was involved in a verbal altercation with an acquaintance, identified as a 35-year-old woman, while driving in Prince William County. During the argument, the accused grabbed the victim and began to choke her. When the two arrived at a residence on Lucasville Rd, the accused pulled the victim to the ground by her hair and proceeded to punch her in the face before choking the victim again as she was holding their 6-month-old baby girl. The victim reported to police that she at some point allegedly lost consciousness. When another family member of the victim saw what was happening, the family member attempted to call police.
