Nesquehoning man charged with assault, strangulation

Published November 25. 2019 06:11AM

A Nesquehoning man is heading to court on assault and strangulation charges after police say he broke his girlfriends ribs.

James Pitre, 32, of West Garibaldi Avenue, was arrested by Nesquehoning police after the altercation on Nov. 11. He was charged with strangulation, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.

According to an affidavit, filed by officers Charles McFeely and Richard Neikam, police were called to Turkey Hill on West Catawissa Street for an unknown issue.

Upon arrival, police spoke with the victim, who said she had been assaulted by Pitre and had broken ribs so she couldn’t catch her breath. Pitre had fled the scene after the assault at his residence.

The victim reported that the pair argued and it escalated to Pitre breaking her and her son’s cellphones so they couldn’t call for help and then he choked her and slammed her over his knee.

The victim refused transportation to the hospital but drove herself to St. Luke’s Miners campus.

Police searched the area and located Pitre in the CVS parking lot on Locust Street. He was taken into custody and declined to speak with police.

He was arraigned before District Judge Casimir Kosciolek and is free after posting $5,000 bail.

His case was waived to court on Wednesday.

Ladies, one of the best books I read was "Rage becomes Her" by Soraya Chemaly.
Women will see themselves in this book.
Aside from the book: During small disagreements with your partner, their should be respect and communication....if he takes it up an aggressive notch verbally, right then and there towards you, that is a sign of abuse. So, right then and there you better put on your thinking cap about what kind of man you are dealing with.
Look out for the ones that make you question your own reality or tell you things didn't happen the way you remember them. Also, if any man makes you dependant on him to the point you have no family or friends...GTFO AND RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
Great addition Krystal. And many will just dismiss you, dismiss what you say or try to change the subject. If a woman is frequently getting angry she better learn about passive aggressive men, because they are crazy makers and incapable of love.
Thank you Country Girl. What I shared are the major indicators that you're dealing with a narcissist.
It is also known as "gaslighting". See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
The best book for women to read is WHOM SHALL I TRUST. I actually was in the same classes with the author and none of us would have ever suspected her to become a victim of abuse. Her husband shot her four times, she still has two bullets in her. Very good book for people living through it
Thank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com
