A Muncie man arrested early Thursday has been accused of using pieces of furniture and a flashlight to beat his girlfriend.
William Oliver Jackson Jr., 41, 1800 N. Macedonia Ave., is preliminarily charged with strangulation, domestic battery and invasion of privacy.
Jackson is accused of beating his alleged victim over the head with a dresser drawer last Saturday, then striking her with a wooden stool and a large flashlight. The woman also said she and Jackson had ingested cocaine that evening, and that he threw a container of salt at her.
The woman - who was taken by ambulance to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital - said Jackson also "pushed her down by the throat, and then placed his leg over her throat, making it hard for her to breathe," according to an affidavit.
Jackson - being held in the Delaware County jail under a $10,000 bond - was charged in March with domestic battery, strangulation and invasion of privacy, apparently as a result of a Feb. 5 attack on the same woman.
