MILFORD — A Milford man was recently arrested after allegedly choking a child.
Andrew Timothy Stout, 45, 208 W. Emeline St., Milford, is charged with domestic battery to a person less than 14 years of age by a person at least 18 years of age, a level 6 felony; and domestic battery, a class A misdemeanor.
