Billy Heath Antes, 47 of Rome, was jailed this week after reports said he choked a woman to the point she lost consciousness and became unresponsive at the victim’s home on Powell Road.

Police went on to say that Prothro proceeded to hit her in the face, causing her to lose use of her right eye and the ability to speak clearly.   The victim was left with visible injuries to her forehead, cheek and arm.

Antes is charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
