A Butler man is facing charges after he allegedly strangled and assaulted a woman.
Butler Township Police were called to a home in the 200 block of Whitestown Road this past Sunday around 3 p.m. to investigate a domestic disturbance.
Upon arrival, they learned the suspect was 35-year-old Samuel Rupp. Police say Rupp hit the victim several times and choked her.
However, he fled the area and was on the loose until state police arrested him in Armstrong County Tuesday afternoon.
He was arraigned and placed in the Butler County Prison on $15,000 bond.
