According to the Hamilton County court records, Samuel Saxon, 47, of Cincinnati, is accused of putting a woman who lives with him in a chokehold and “causing serious physical harm.” Cincinnati police said they arrested Saxon over the weekend on charges of felonious assault, strangulation, and domestic violence. Saxon was booked into the county jail just before 3:30 a.m. Saturday and held without bond.
Police said they saw bruising around the victim’s neck after what happened on Friday, according to an affidavit filed in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
The reported incident occurred in the hallway of an apartment building on Eden Avenue near the University of Cincinnati, court records show.
Saxon was charged based on witnesses who reported seeing him put the woman in a chokehold that caused visible bruising to her neck, a Cincinnati police sergeant wrote in one of the criminal complaints.
