SAYRE, PA (607NewsNow) – A Waverly man awaits his day in a Pennsylvania court.

20-year-old Nathen Wandell was arrested June 26 following an alleged domestic incident involving his ex-girlfriend in Sayre.

Police say no one opened the door when they responded to the call, but a woman arrived at the station shortly afterward, barefoot and visibly injured. According to WETM-TV, the victim claimed in a written statement that Wandell slammed her head on the ground, choked her, and made death threats.

Wandell faces felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges. He’s being held on $100,000 cash bail and is scheduled to appear in court on July 14.
