An Ochelata man is picked up on an outstanding warrant from 2023.

 Lloyd Mathis is being charged with 2 counts assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, child abuse, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, and malicious injury to property.

Mathis is being charged on those above counts for an incident that took place in January of 2023. According to an affidavit, the victim and her five children arrived at a home with Mathis just before he began breaking things and over-turning furniture. Mathis is alleged to have struck one of the minor children, smashed a phone, and threatened the family members before using a knife to threaten the victim.

The victim got out of the house before Mathis allegedly tried to choke her. The victim escaped from Mathis and called the police. Mathis is being held over on a $250,000 bond.
