39-year-old Kortney Ball was charged with aggravated assault after he strangled his ex-girlfriend because she asked him to turn off his cell phone.

On September 9th, officers responded to a call about a domestic disturbance that occurred at 1313 South Hampton Court. The officers met with the ex-girlfriend, McKaila Garnett, who told officers that he had come home earlier that morning and woke her up so she could move her foot so he could also get in the bed and sleep.
