Franklin, IN man accused of choking fiancé over NASCAR-IndyCar dispute
Deputies responded around 8 p.m. to an incomplete 911 call from a Franklin home on the 2500 block of U.S. 31, the news release said.
A woman told deputies that she and her fiance had been drinking all day. He was in the kitchen making dinner while she was listening to the Indianapolis 500 in the living room. He "started rambling on about NASCAR being better than IndyCar," according to the incident report, and then choked her.
She tried to call 911, but her fiancé shouted, “Who are you calling?" He took the phone from her, according to the report, and said, "Everything is fine here," and hung up.
Police arrested the man, 57-year-old David Lee Wilson, for domestic battery and strangulation. He told deputies that he overheard his fiancee “talking trash" about NASCAR but said there was no physical confrontation. Indy Star
