QUINCY, MA — A Quincy man accused of punching and strangling his girlfriend is being held without bail, pending a dangerousness hearing, after police said they found several unregistered guns and mason jars filled with drugs.

Kyle Kaiser, 28, of Quincy, was arraigned Friday on charges including domestic assault, illegal possession of firearms and drug trafficking.

Police were called to Kaiser's Beach Street apartment, which he shared with his girlfriend a little before 3 p.m., on Wednesday. Police told the Patriot Ledger that someone called and said that a woman was being held against her will and had illegal guns.

Police said they found bruising around Kaiser's girlfriend's right eye and on her neck. Kaiser's girlfriend denied he held her against her will, but police said during questioning, she later admitted that Kaiser strangled her a few days before.

After discovering the injuries, police charged Kaiser. When police let Kaiser use his cell phone to try and arrange bail, police said he instead sent profane text messages to his girlfriend while police interviewed her in the next room.
