From the Prince William police press release reporting cases of strangulation and brandishing a machete:
Strangulation | Domestic Related – On September 4 at 10:42PM, officers responded to an apartment located in the 4400 block of Daisy Reid Ave in Woodbridge (22193) to investigate a domestic assault. The victim, a 33-year-old woman, reported to police that she and the accused, an acquaintance, were involved in a verbal altercation, which escalated. During the encounter, the accused took the victim’s phone, which prevented her from contacting police. At some point during the argument, the accused grabbed the victim by the neck and choked her. The parties eventually separated, and the victim fled the apartment before contacting police. Minor injuries were reported. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Devin Edward THOMPSON, was arrested.
