Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery, Intimidation of a Witness and Strangulation Dismissed at Pretrial

The defendant is a member of the armed forces. In August of this year police responded to a 911 call at his home made by his wife. She had locked herself in a room in the home and called the police to report that she had been assaulted by her husband. The police obtained more detailed information when they entered the home. The victim stated that during an argument her husband became physical with her. She tried to escape and attempted to call the police. The defendant threw her phone into a pool thereby preventing her from making the call. He then put his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming for help. He also grabbed her by the throat.
