GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man has been arrested on a charge of possession of a firearm as a convicted felon after attempting to kill a woman, according to a federal prosecutor.
G. Norman Acker III, acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, said in a news release Thursday that Errol Rahnell Taheim Baston, 36, of Winterville was arrested by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents.
The news release said the charges stem from a domestic incident in which Baston reportedly held a woman against her will, repeatedly assaulted and choked her and attempted to drown her in a bathtub.
