Officers were sent to Jennings Drive at around 5 p.m. on Jan. 8, for a report of a past tense assault, according to reports.

A woman alleged that Bosa choked her but had since left the apartment. He allegedly “knocked on her doors and windows asking to be let in so they could talk” and when she wouldn’t let him in, he reportedly went to the back of the apartment and “walked right in without permission.” Bosa allegedly advanced at her but she pushed him away telling he had to leave, according to a court affidavit.

“(The victim) said Theo grabbed her by the neck with his hand and started choking her,” the officer stated. “(She) fought back and the two of them fell on the living room sofa and then the floor.”

The officer asked her to reenact the alleged assault and movements, which she did, and he noted in the report that she had “clearly visible” marks and abrasions on her neck and shoulder, according to the affidavit, that looked as if she had been choked.

She stated that they had been dating off and on for about four years. She reported that Bosa was wearing blue pajama pants and a sweatshirt with a hood.

An officer and sergeant found Bosa at another Jennings Drive apartment and he was arrested and held without bail.

About an hour later, three new restraining violation order charges were filed against Bosa after he was allegedly involved in another incident against a girl that a detective had begun investigating a few days before the alleged strangulation incident.

On Jan. 4, police received a report from a local school that a student alleged that Bosa had been contacting her and had allegedly previously “sexually and physically assaulted her,” according to a court affidavit. According to police, there was an active restraining order against Bosa that was issued in late December that prohibited from being near the girl, her mother, and other minor children. Bosa reportedly received the order on Dec. 22, 2015.

A detective spoke to the girl on Jan. 5, and she stated on the last day of school before Christmas break, Bosa was allegedly at her home in violation of the order.

“She stated that he apologized to her and told her not to tell anyone about their contacts,” the report alleged.

Bosa was also allegedly in the home on Christmas Day, according to the victim.

“(She) then told me that when she went home last night, Mr. Bosa was in her apartment again (Jan. 4),” the officer alleged.

Bosa allegedly tried to speak to her about a previous incidents. According to the allegation, he allegedly followed her to a room, pushed her down on a bed, stood over her, and told her not to tell anyone and asked why she told people about the previous incident, the sexual assault, the detective alleged.

The victim stated that someone knocked on her apartment door and Bosa reportedly fled out the back door, the report stated.

The victim said there were two witnesses to the incidents who allegedly saw Bosa in the apartment on Christmas Day and Jan. 4. The detective spoke to the witnesses and then filed an arrest warrant later that day.
