The arrest stems from a domestic dispute that took place on Sunday, May 3, in Ulster County, said Lt. Scott D. Butler of the New Paltz Police Department.
When police responded to the home around 10:45 p.m., they interviewed the victim who said Michael G. Detheridge, of Wappingers Falls, had allegedly choked and assaulted, including pushing her and causing her head to strike a kitchen counter, Butler said.
The victim was treated at the scene for her injuries and released, he added.
Detheridge left the scene prior to the officers’ arrival.
An investigation found that Detheridge had prior convictions for family offenses within the past five years.
Detheridge turned himself in to police on Thursday, May 7, and charged with:
- Felony aggravated family offense
- Assault, third-degree
- Criminal obstruction of breathing
He was processed on the above charges and released on his own recognizance after a temporary order of protection was issued for the victim.
