RALEIGH, N.C. — A 32-year-old Raleigh man has been accused of habitual assault after a Wake County sheriff's deputy says he choked and struck a Garner woman in September.

Dean Mitchell Parker, of 3409 Tryon Road, was charged Saturday with habitual misdemeanor assault, assault on a female and false imprisonment. He was placed in the Wake County jail under a $10,000 secured bond.

The arrest warrants state that on Sept. 10, Parker pulled the woman in the back seat of a truck and hit and choked her until help arrived. The woman's lips were busted, and she suffered bruises on her arms and neck, according to the warrants.
