A man broke into a woman’s home and assaulted her by choking her during an attempted robbery last month, according to an arrest warrant.
According to the warrant, at around 1 p.m. on June 23, Anthony Byron Davenport, 27, entered the victim’s residence on Whisper Lane in Austell to attempt a burglary.
Davenport was reportedly interrupted by the resident, who asked him to leave, the warrant says. Davenport is accused of attacking her, grabbing the victim’s throat with such force that it temporarily cut off her airway and left redness and discoloration around her throat.
Davenport was charged with two felonies: first degree burglary and aggravated assault in the form of strangulation. He was arrested and is being held at the Cobb County jail without bond.
