A Mexico, Missouri, man was charged on Friday with a pair of felonies after he allegedly strangled a woman multiple times this summer.

Jonathan Swiney was charged in Audrain County with two counts of first-degree domestic assault. A warrant was issued and no bond was set.

The probable cause statement says a woman was assaulted by Swiney on Aug. 9 after an argument occurred between the two. The victim allegedly told police they were strangled and beat by Swiney and described a second assault that occurred on July 3 that had similar details, the statement indicates.

The victim described multiple assaults and showed injuries they suffered in photographs they saved, the statement says.
