A Salina man was arrested Tuesday afternoon following a domestic disturbance on the South side of town, according to Salina Police Department Cpt. James Feldman.

SPD officers were dispatched to the residence around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22 after receiving a report of a physical altercation between two men who lived in the same house. Upon arrival, officers spoke with a 38-year-old male resident who said he had been arguing with his roommate, Jeffrey Majors, 53, about moving piles of laundry.

The disagreement escalated when Majors allegedly pushed the victim and placed him in a chokehold, applying pressure to the victim’s neck, Feldman said. 

Another individual living in the residence intervened, and Majors eventually released the victim. The victim then contacted police.

Majors was taken into custody without incident. He faces charges of aggravated domestic battery for applying the chokehold and criminal damage to property. During the altercation, the victim's glasses, valued at $185, were damaged.
