Columbus Officer Charged in Strangulation

Columbus PD officer Timothy Michael Fuller, 42, arrested Wednesday on strangulation charges after allegedly choking a woman twice—once until she passed out, then twice more after she came to. The incident, which occurred Tuesday night, adds fresh turmoil to a troubling past: a pending civil suit links Fuller to the death of Marchelle Freeman, who begged officers to remove a gun from Stewart Butler—later sentenced for her murder—after a prior gun incident. Fuller’s court date is Thursday morning, and the fallout could reshape his future with the department. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
