A Bartlesville man facing a charge of domestic abuse in front of a minor child had his initial appearance in Washington County Court Friday.

 47-year-old Aaron Neil Williams was arrested Wednesday after police were contacted about a domestic abuse situation. The victim told police that Williams became physical with her in a vehicle after an argument ensued.

 The victim said that Williams would not let her leave the vehicle and allegedly tossed her around the cabin of the car. Williams then allegedly grabbed the victim by the neck and upper arms and choked her briefly. The argument took place in front of the victim’s child. Police reports indicate injuries to the victim's left elbow and side.

 Williams is being held on $25,000 bond, due to a record of domestic violence.
