Officers received a report of someone screaming for help in the area of an old drive-in theater on Route 59, and quickly located a female victim who reported an assault by her boyfriend in the wooded area behind the drive-in.
The suspect was found in the surrounding area, and was charged with second-degree strangulation, second-degree assault and criminal contempt.
He was remanded to the Rockland County Jail and will appear in Ramapo Justice Court next month.
