A Perry man was arrested Monday afternoon after allegedly strangling a Perry woman in the course of a domestic dispute.
Thomas Edward Young II, 46, of 500 Fourth St., Perry, was charged with domestic abuse assault-impeding air/blood flow causing bodily injury.
The incident began about 3:45 p.m. Monday in the 500 block of Fourth Street, where officers of the Perry Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The victim told the officers that Young allegedly “wrapped his hands around her neck, struck her in the cheek with an open palm, nearly causing her to lose consciousness, and further pulled her hair hard enough to remove hair from her scalp,” according to court records.
Officers observed on the victim “a fresh bruise on” her “left cheek, red marks on” her “neck, consistent with strangulation, and a red mark on” the victim’s “forehead,” according to court records.
Young is held in the Dallas County Jail in advance of an initial appearance in Dallas County District Court.
Young was convicted of assault with intent to inflict serious injury in 1998 in Dallas County District Court.
