Officers say they “witnessed the suspect grabbing the victim by the neck and throwing her against a wall. … In addition to the strangulation attempts, the suspect also struck the victim with his arm which had a cast from a previous injury.”
They say his wife had visible injuries but she was not taken to the hospital.
The police say they charged the baseball star with aggravated assault by strangulation — a felony that carries a minimum of three years and a maximum of 20 years in prison — and misdemeanor battery. He is being held in Fulton County jail.
