An Oxford man was arrested by Johnson County Deputies after he allegedly choked his girlfriend in an alley outside a bar.

Jeremy Joseph Prymek, 41, was charged June 18 with willful injury causing bodily injury.

Police reports said the alleged victim told deputies that she had gotten into an argument with her boyfriend, Prymek, about leaving the bar.

The two then allegedly ended up outside after a “physical altercation,” reports said. The woman said Prymek allegedly pushed her to the ground.

The complaint said the woman tried to scream but couldn’t with Prymek’s hands around her throat.

When she reportedly nearly lost consciousness, Prymek stood and entered the bar, according to deputies.

Bruising and ligature marks around the victim’s neck were consistent with choking, deputies said.

Complaints said Prymek allegedly later admitted to pushing the victim after she knocked out his tooth.
