A Palm Coast man is facing multiple charges after deputies say he choked a pregnant woman during an argument Sunday and tried to stop her from calling for help.
What we know:
According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, a witness reported seeing a man on the ground holding a woman in a chokehold in the S-Section of Palm Coast. The witness told deputies the woman screamed for help and tried to call law enforcement before the man, identified as 29-year-old JAY, took her phone and fled.
Deputies launched a drone to search the area and quickly found AY walking behind a nearby residence. He was arrested on charges of domestic battery by strangulation, domestic aggravated battery on a pregnant person, petit theft and hindering communication with law enforcement.
What they’re saying:
Sheriff Rick Staly praised the witness who called 911. “That call may have just saved her life and helped us get this guy and take him to the Green Roof Inn where he can cool down and think about his temper,” Staly said in a statement, referring to the county jail.
AY is being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on $46,000 bond. Deputies noted he was previously arrested in July 2023 for domestic battery involving the same victim.
