A Cadiz man was charged with assaulting a woman at a home on Hardy Road in Trigg County Sunday afternoon.
Trigg County Sheriff’s deputies say 29-year-old John Finley hit a woman in the chest multiple times before climbing on top of her and hitting her in the face during a fight over calling his grandfather. Investigators say Finley choked the woman causing her to lose consciousness before she was able to hit him with a car seat, get her 4-month-old child, and run to a neighbor’s house.
During the assault, he reportedly told the woman “if she was going to act like a man then he was going to beat her like a man”.
He is charged with second-degree assault, second-degree strangulation, and third-degree terroristic threatening.
