Three people were indicted on strangulation charges by the Trigg County grand jury stemming from three separate cases from August to October of this year.
29-year-old John Lewis Finley of Cadiz was indicted on charges of fourth-degree assault, second-degree strangulation, interfering with communications, and third-degree terroristic threatening.
The charges are the result of a Trigg County Sheriff’s Department investigation where deputies said Finley hit a woman in the chest multiple times before climbing on top of her and hitting her in the face during a fight over calling his grandfather. Investigators say Finley choked the woman causing her to lose consciousness before she was able to hit him with a car seat, get her 4-month-old child, and run to a neighbor’s house.
He remains under his original bond following his arrest.
Meanwhile, 32-year-old Timothy Dockery of Cadiz was indicted for first-degree strangulation, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, second-degree criminal mischief, second-degree fleeing police, resisting arrest, being a persistent felony offender, and four counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
The charges are the result of a Trigg County Sheriff’s Department investigation from October 4 where police said he attempted to strangle a female and left the scene. The indictment said Dockery had been convicted of two previous felony charges. His bond was set at $25,000 cash.
And 30-year-old Damian Boyd of Cadiz saw true bills returned for first-degree strangulation, fourth-degree assault, first-degree wanton endangerment, third-degree terroristic threatening, and six counts of first-degree criminal mischief.
The charges stem from an October 4 Trigg County Sheriff’s Department investigation that said Boyd choked a woman causing her to lose consciousness while threatening to kill her. He then broke a TV, a door, and damaged her car and walls inside the home.
A child at the home reportedly recorded a video of the assault, and police said Boyd threatened to assault the children before leaving the home.
He remains under his original bond following his arrest.
