Man charged with strangulation after alleged assault at St. Albans apartment
Kanawha County authorities say a 35-year-old out-of-state content creator was charged in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident at an apartment in St. Albans. Court records state the defendant faces a strangulation charge filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court following reports of a physical altercation involving a woman who lived at the residence.
According to court documents and police reports, an earlier complaint in late August led to officers responding after an argument at the apartment; the defendant reportedly agreed then to leave and officers explained how the resident could seek a Domestic Violence Protective Order. Documents further allege that a separate incident in September escalated: the woman told police she was struck, knocked down, and choked while the defendant sat on top of her. Two children were reported to have been in the home and to have witnessed the incident; one reportedly called 911 and the other reportedly intervened.
The Kanawha County Magistrate Court charge is recorded as strangulation. These descriptions of events, injuries, and witness actions are drawn from police reports and court filings and are presented as allegations. The current formal charge is lodged in magistrate court; no trial outcome or sentencing is documented in the records supplied.
All individuals accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
