A Georgia suspect has been arrested after allegedly choking a teenager who had “Ding Dong Ditched” his house, police say.
William Raymond Cole, 49, was charged with felony aggravated assault and first-degree felony cruelty to children on Monday. Tybee Island Police Department explained that their officers were called to investigate an aggravated assault earlier on Sunday.
Authorities discovered that a group of teenagers had knocked repeatedly on Cole’s door as a prank. Cole then allegedly angrily pursued the teenagers, even attempting to strike them with his car.
“Cole then allegedly chased them away from the residence, before getting into his vehicle to continue the pursuit,” Tybee Island Police Department explained in a press release. “After catching up to the kids, Cole allegedly attempted to strike them with the vehicle.”
