A man has been given 180 days in jail for reportedly choking his girlfriend and then pointing a loaded crossbow at people outside a home on Hardaway Street.
Kevin Lee Fralix, 47, was ordered to serve 180 days of a six-year sentence by Judge Bart Stanley after he entered guilty pleas to two charges of assault. He must forfeit the crossbow.
The incident in question occurred in July when the female victim woke up Fralix about their 3-year-old daughter. The arrest warrant says Fralix, a convicted felon, became irate, grabbing the woman by the throat, putting his hand over her mouth and shoving her against a wall. Fralix then snatched the woman’s phone as she tried to call 911, the arrest warrant says.
Fralix then began to act odd.
“He took the child and laid it on a sofa and started piling chairs upside down over the child as to try and keep (the victim) from getting the child,” the warrant reads.
The woman was able to get the child, leave the home and have a friend call 911. That’s when Fralix emerged from the home with a loaded crossbow and began pointing it at people in the yard. The onlookers were able to get Fralix to calm down and they informed him law enforcement had been called, prompting him to leave the scene on foot.
An officer came in contact with Fralix on Morningside Drive as he was walking toward Old Morrison Road and he was taken into custody.
