NINEVEH, Ind. — A complaint from a neighbor led to a domestic violence arrest in Nineveh Sunday around midnight.
The wife of William Davenport, 40, told Johnson County deputies the two had been arguing. As the argument intensified, Davenport grabbed the female by the neck and lifted her off the ground on two occasions. Deputies noted red marks on her neck consistent with her story. The violence occurred in front of the couple’s two children.
Davenport had a prior domestic battery conviction against his wife in March 2010.
Davenport was charged with felony domestic battery and felony strangulation, and taken to the Johnson County Jail. He is being held without bond.
