A twenty-four-year-old Summerville man is accused of preventing a woman from making an emergency phone call and allegedly choking the woman.  Joseph Andrew Middleton reportedly took the woman’s cell phone away from her and assaulted her during an argument.  The incident took place in front of a juvenile child.  Middleton was arrested earlier this month and charged with hindering a person making an emergency 911 call and aggravated assault under the Family Violence Act.  He is additionally charged with third-degree cruelty to children charges because of the minor being present.  Middleton was arrested by sheriff’s deputies shortly before 11 PM on January 16th.
