Police accused a drunken man of choking his girlfriend in her bedroom in the 100 block of Lafayette Court and chasing her down the street Thursday night as she tried to escape.

The woman fled to a neighbor’s residence, but no one was home. Two women driving by saw the suspect chasing the woman and offered her a ride to the police station. The suspect was charged with simple assault and simple battery under the Family Violence Act.
