Bloomington, IN- Police arrested a Bloomington man February 17 after receiving a domestic disturbance call. Burchill L. Perry, 40 of the 700 block of South Park Road, is being charged with battery, strangulation, confinement, resisting arrest and interference with reporting a crime.
Perry’s son reportedly called the police after Perry and his live-in girlfriend got into a heated argument that turned physical. According to Perry’s girlfriend, the two were discussing discipline tactics of Perry’s son when the discussion became physical.
Perry allegedly pushed his girlfriend onto a bed, straddled her and covered her nose and mouth with his hands. The girlfriend tried to force him off while yelling for Perry’s son to call the police. Perry yelled at his son not to do so and then yelled at him to disconnect the phone.
According to his girlfriend, Perry then put a blanket over her head and wrapped a lamp cord around her neck. The girlfriend reported that she was not able to breathe and began to lose consciousness just as the police arrived.
As the arresting officers approached the residence, they could hear screaming and someone yelling, “Help me.” The officers knocked on the door, and when no one answered they began to force the door open. A young man, Perry’s son, then opened the door for the officers.
The girlfriend reportedly ran out of the residence towards the officers. The officers noted that she was crying, red in the face, had a bloody lip, hoarse voice and redness around the neck. The female then began to hyperventilate and an ambulance was requested.
The officers approached Perry, who kept his hands in his pockets when ordered not to. Perry was eventually taken into custody and booked at the Monroe County jail. He faces felony charges of strangulation, domestic battery, confinement, resisting arrest and interference with reporting a crime.
The case has also been forwarded to Child Protective Services in regards to Perry’s juvenile son that witnessed the alleged crime.
