Busted
Name: Aenoy Prathane
The story: Officers responded to a report of a domestic fight between a male, later identified as Prathane, and a female who were choking each other in a front yard. Upon arrival, officers met with the victim who told them that there had been a verbal argument that escalated to a physical altercation. The victim said that Prathane pushed her to the ground where he choked her until she began to black out. The victim was able to catch the attention of a neighbor who knocked Prathane off her with a push broom. Officers observed scratches around the victim’s neck, and she complained of pain in her throat. While in handcuffs, Prathane was able to pull away from officers and led them on a four-block chase. Prathane was later apprehended without incident and taken to the Polk County Jail where he was charged with assault domestic abuse with intent or with a weapon and interference with official acts.
