Kyle Reece Major, 23, was charged with one felony count of domestic assault and battery by strangulation, according to court records. Major has a previous felony conviction in 2004 of possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
On July 12 Sallisaw Police Sgt. Dale Sneed was called to the police department to take a report of a domestic abuse. Sneed reportedly met with the victim, who alleged that Major had choked her, pulled her hair and threatened to kill her and her young son on the previous night.
The victim told Sneed that Major then let go of her and went into the kitchen, where he picked up a knife, put the knife on the counter, and picked up their 2-year-old son. The victim alleged Major put his fist in the boy's face and said, "I ought to kill him right now." He then went to bed.
