Man Arrested After Trying To Shove An Engagement Ring Down His Fiance's Throat

 Faron Thompson, a 29-year-old Orlando man, was jailed Sunday after he allegedly tried to force an engagement ring down his fiance's throat when she decided that she didn't want to live with him any longer.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Thompson became angry when his fiance of four years had decided to move out of the residence they shared.

Anger turned to rage when he noticed that she had left an engagement ring that he had given her on the kitchen counter.

In retaliation, Thompson tackled her, held her down and attempted to force the ring down the woman's throat.

Investigators say the woman was able to break free and flee to a nearby Walmart where she called 911.

Arriving officers met the woman and noted redness around the woman's neck and scratch marks on her arm.

The woman told officers that she was holding a one-year-old child when Thompson attacked her. She also stated that Thompson covered her mouth during the attack so that she couldn't breath.

When officers interviewed Thompson, he denied the accusations stating that "all women claim assault, but never accept responsibility for provoking someone."

Thompson was booked into the Orange County Jail and charged with battery via strangulation and child neglect.
