According to Fox News.com, a Florida man has
reportedly been arrested for trying to force his fiancée to swallow her diamond
engagement ring because she no longer wanted to live with him.
ClickOrlando.com reports that Faron Thompson was arrested Sunday on charges
of battery via strangulation and child neglect.
Thompson's girlfriend of four years, according to the Orange County
Sheriff's Office, said she was arguing with Thompson about moving her things
out of her home and left the ring on the kitchen counter. When she went
to retrieve it, she realized Thompson had the ring, according to deputies,
adding that he tried to force the ring down her throat while holding her down.
Thompson also threatened to burn the woman's house down, prompting her to
call him a "psycho," Orange
County sheriff's deputies
said.
The woman told deputies also Thompson pushed her against a wall and covered
her mouth to prevent her from breathing during the alleged attack as she held a
one-year-old child.
