A Coralville man faces charges that he choked his wife and daughter, causing injuries.
Coralville Police say 25-year-old Tyrone Simpson of 6th Street grabbed his wife by the throat just before 10:15 Monday night, applied pressure, then threw her against a wall. The choke impeded blood and airflow, and investigators noticed marks resembling handprints around her neck.
Simpson also allegedly grabbed his minor daughter by the throat, leaving significant marks. She also allegedly suffered multiple abrasions on her face, neck and head.
Simpson is charged with Domestic Abuse Assault Impeding Airflow Causing Injury, Domestic Abuse Assault Causing Injury and Child Endangerment Causing Bodily Injury. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of 11 years in prison.
