Brandon Jaymes Hattery

SYRACUSE — A Nappanee man was recently arrested for allegedly battering a man in Syracuse.

Brandon Jaymes Hattery, 30, 451 S. Elm St., Nappanee, is charged with strangulation and domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, both level 6 felonies.

On June 8, a Syracuse Police officer responded to a domestic incident. A man said Hattery became angry and placed him in a choke hold, squeezing to a point where he could not breathe.

According to court documents, the officer noticed red marks around the man’s neck and chest.

A witness said he saw Hattery place the man in a choke hold. When the witness asked Hattery to let the man go, Hattery did so and left the scene.

Hattery was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on June 27, with a $5,250 surety and cash bond.
