GOUVERNEUR — A Gouverneur man was jailed after allegedly nearly choking another person unconscious May 6, according to village police.

Dylan J. Parker, 23, was arrested at 6:57 p.m. for second-degree strangulation and third-degree assault following an alleged domestic incident on Barnes Street, officers said.

He was arrested and arraigned at Gouverneur court and remanded to the St. Lawrence jail on $10,000 bail.
