A 43-year-old Live Oak man was charged with domestic battery by

strangulation on his wife Thursday after an argument between the two.

LOPD Sgt. Larry Rogers was dispatched to the residence of Alvin Dewayne

Jones and his wife at 518 Lincoln Avenue in response to a domestic

disturbance at 7:15 a.m. Once on scene reports say Rogers met the wife who

reported that Jones had grabbed and choked her during an argument that morning.

Reports state Jones told the wife he was leaving after she

allegedly accused him of cheating on him. She states they began arguing over

the ownership of a vehicle the two owned, say reports. The wife told Rogers

that was when Jones grabbed her by the neck, squeezing and telling her that

she is crazy. After he let go, Jones reportedly got into the vehicle and

left, but was spotted by the wife walking back toward the residence while

Rogers was interviewing her.

Jones reportedly denied the strangulation, telling Rogers his wife "snapped

on him" and "she went off the deep end," say reports. Jones said they only

argued over the ownership of the vehicle after which he drove away and

parked the vehicle at a friend's house about four blocks from the Lincoln

Avenue residence.

Jones was placed under arrest and transported to the Suwannee County Jail.
