CASSOPOLIS – An Edwardsburg man who assaulted and choked his girlfriend was found guilty of domestic violence Tuesday by a Cass County jury.
The jury of six heard testimony that Doyle Burrow pushed the victim to the ground, jumping on her and choking her with both hands.
The victim testified that he began to strike her about the head, causing her injury that sent her to the hospital.
Edwardsburg police investigated the case and testified that they observed the injuries and went to Burrow's home to investigate.
Officers testified that Burrows was intoxicated and quickly confessed to the attack.
The domestic violence case was presented to the jury by Cass County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jason Ronning.
District Judge Paul Deats presided over the trial.
"This continues our important mission of holding domestic assaulters accountable for their actions," Ronning said Wednesday.
Burrow will be sentenced on April 27 in the Fourth District Court.
