DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — A 32-year-old Darlington County man remains in jail after allegedly choking his girlfriend until she became unconscious, a report said.
Deputies charged Andy Stevens Bramlette with attempted murder, kidnapping and unlawful conduct toward a child after the incident. He is being held without bond at the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center.
Deputies went to a residence on Friday and found the woman 'outside crying and very upset,' a report said. After coming out of the home, Brameltte told deputies that they had not been arguing that day.
He later acknowledged that they had argued on Thursday after he went through her phone because he thought she had been cheating on him, a report said. He said it was not physical and that they talked afterward and everything was OK.
According to arrest warrants, Bramlette pinned the woman to the floor, put both of his hands around her neck and yelled, 'You gonna die today, you gonna die today. Bye, bye.' The incident happened with a young child nearby.
Deputies arrested Bramlette after watching a video of the incident that the report said was sent by the woman to another person.
