Two local men have been charged in two separate incidents of alleged strangulation that occurred on Christmas Day in downtown Butler.
According to a criminal complaint filed by Butler City Police, just before 3 a.m. Monday 34-year-old Jose Olivo Jr assaulted his girlfriend in the 200 block of Kaufman Drive.

Later that day just after 5 p.m. Butler City Police responded to a domestic incident in the 500 block of West Brady Street. A victim reported that 29-year-old Jacob Barker of Butler tried to strangle her by squeezing his hands around her throat. The victim called police from a neighbor’s house and police observed evidence of an assault.
Both men will face felony strangulation charges as well as misdemeanor simple assault charges.
