Officers booked Alejandro Perez into the Scioto County Jail on charges of domestic violence and strangulation.
In Ohio, strangulation has been made a felony offense since the state’s new strangulation law took effect in 2023. The term “strangulation” refers to any act that impedes the normal breathing or circulation of blood by applying pressure to the throat or neck or by covering the mouth and nose.
