POST FALLS — Police arrested a man who they said choked his wife after she asked him to stop playing video games.

The 38-year-old Post Falls man is charged with attempted strangulation, a felony.

Police responded Friday night to a residence where a woman said her husband had attacked her.

The woman allegedly told police she had been working from home all day when she entered the couple’s bedroom and found her husband playing video games. She asked him to stop playing.

She said her husband got up, grabbed her by the throat, threw her onto the bed and climbed on top of her.

Both his hands were around her neck, she said.

When she pulled her phone from her pocket to call 911, she said her husband took it from her and threw it.

A red mark on her neck was consistent with being grabbed with force, police said.

The man told police that he and his wife were kissing on their bed when she pulled out her phone and said she was going to call 911 “because she didn’t like it.” He said she then threw her own phone.

Police arrested the man at the scene.

Judge Robert Burton ordered Monday that the man be held on $25,000 bail.
