Multiple charges have been filed against a Winchester man in connection with events at a local car wash.
Michael Perkins, 49, is charged with 4th degree assault and dating violence with minor injury, as well as first degree strangulation.
According to an official citation, at 5:04 p.m. on Sunday, February 4th, officers of the Winchester Police Department were dispatched to a car wash location on W. Lexington Avenue in reference to an alleged assault, according to the arrest citation.
The caller had advised dispatch that a subject had hit and pushed her.
She further stated what the subject was wearing: a black jacket, blue jeans with red shoes, and a black backpack.
Upon arrival, the two officers observed a subject, identified as Perkins, matching the physical description.
While advising Perkins about the complaint of an assault, officers observed a scratch and blood on his right ear.
Perkins allegedly stated he had cut himself shaving.
He also claimed that the caller had been standing in the doorway, and he had just “moved her out of the way” and did not assault her.
