Jerome Cochuran-Daniels, Jr., 20, is in custody more than a week after an alleged domestic dispute with the woman inside the Coverstone 4 Apartments in the 7600 block of Cass Place in Manassas.
Police say that at 3 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 24, a 19-year-old and Cochuran-Daniels got into a verbal argument that rapidly escalated, during which he pushed her before they were able to separate.
Things only got worse from there.
A second argument later that day led to Cochuran-Daniels allegedly grabbing the 19-year-old woman by the neck and lifting her onto a stovetop and pulling her to the ground.
According to the department, the following morning, he took her phone while she was attempting to call the police, though she was able to eventually escape and walked to a nearby business and contacted the department.
Minor injuries were reported.
Over the weekend, Cochuran-Daniels was tracked down in the area of Balls Ford Road, though when officers attempted to apprehend him, he fled on foot before he was taken into custody.
Cochuran-Daniels was charged with:
- Strangulation;
- Abduction;
- Three counts of domestic assault and battery;
- Preventing the summoning of law enforcement.
His court date is pending and bond information was unavailable on Monday, Sept. 4.
