COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers arrested a man for strangling a victim after the two of them apparently decided to go to Walmart together after the strangling.

According to officers, 24-year-old Nicholas Harris allegedly strangled a victim in what they described was a domestic dispute around 6 p.m. Thursday, but they didn't say exactly how the two were related. They said she's a female but didn't confirm her age.

The victim told officers Harris strangled her repeatedly during an argument in the 3300 block of Quail Lake Road. She said he also threatened to kill her.
