HUTCHINSON, Kan. – For what has become a common occurrence in recent domestic battery cases, a 48-year-old Hutchinson man was jailed for aggravated battery after choking the victim. According to police reports, Charles Scott choked the victim during an altercation Tuesday evening.

When police arrived, they witnessed the marks on her neck from where Scott was choking her. As Scott was choking her, he apparently told her, “you are going to die today.”

The victim was able to get away and called the police. This occurred around 6:20 p.m.

Scott is jailed on a bond of $10,000 and his request for a reduction was denied by Judge Joe McCarville.
