A woman living on Valley Drive, S.E., told Vienna police on Sept. 23 at 9:40 p.m. that an argument with her husband had escalated when he allegedly assaulted her.
The resident had visible signs of injury, but refused treatment, police said.
Police arrested the 40-year-old Vienna man and transported him to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where authorities charged him with strangulation, held him without bond and served an emergency protective order on him.
