A Bartlesville man is in custody after being arrested on a warrant for allegedly choking his girlfriend back in April.  36-year Stephen Joe Eastham is charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation. 

According to a court affidavit, Eastham's girlfriend told Bartlesville police they were arguing when the suspect pushed her down on the couch.  Reportedly, the victim stood up and Eastham wrapped his arm around her throat, and picked her up off the ground.  Court records indicate that Eastham had three priors, two in Nowata County and one in Osage County.

Eastham's next court date is June 17th.  Bond was set at $5,000.
