(KLZA)--A Wahoo police officer has been arrested in a Pawnee County assault case.
28-year-old Juan Ramirez Jr, was arrested Monday in Lincoln on charges of assault by strangulation and third-degree domestic violence.
Ramirez is accused of beating and strangling a 39-year-old Pawnee City woman at her home on Friday following an argument.
KOLN TV reports an arrest affidavit indicates the argument started after Ramierez started going through her phone and disliked one of the victim's friend.
It's alleged Ramierz called her a degrading name and then strangled her. She lost consciousness.
Ramirez is a former member of the Falls City Police Department.
He is being held in the Lancaster County Jail, awaiting extradition to Pawnee County.
