She said Goforth struck her in the head, and deputies noted she had marks on her forehead, neck and arms.

3. The woman said Goforth also strangled her with an ethernet cable until she had trouble breathing and felt she would pass out, and threatened to kill her. The state lawmaker also threatened "to hog tie” her, she said.

4. The woman was able to leave the residence — where there were 3 children at the time — after promising Goforth she would unlock her phone.

She also filed for an Emergency Protection Order (EPO), per to the report.

5. When sheriff’s deputies went to the home, they found the children safe and indicated that Goforth did not appear to be “manifestly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”

Goforth pleaded not guilty in June.
