FREMONT ( Boyfriend tried to hang girlfriend-but left her with cell phone )

A Fremont man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly tied up his girlfriend and tried to hang her from a tree in his backyard, police said.
The girlfriend called police around 5:50 p.m. from a cell phone and frantically told them she was tied up in the backyard at her boyfriend’s house on the 41500 block of Beatrice Street, said police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques.
(hello my boyfriend is trying to hang me)

The woman’s hands had been zip-tied behind her back but when her boyfriend stepped inside for a cigarette, she was able to reach for her phone in her back pocket and call police, Bosques said. The dispatcher had a hard time hearing her and the woman didn’t say much, but was able to give police the address of the house, Bosques said.
When police arrived at the house, they found her with her hands tied behind her back and a rope tied around her neck and connected to a tree. Her boyfriend, 31-year-old Daniel Howard, was standing behind her when police arrived. He pushed her toward a creek embankment at the edge of the back yard and jumped over a side fence, Bosques said.
Police released the woman, and officers chased down and arrested Howard several houses away. He was booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of attempted murder. The woman, who lives in San Jose, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.
Police have had contact with Howard numerous times in the past, Bosques said.

  1. Thankfully, this woman had the cell phone, and that's great that the police were able to get the location. Throw away the key for this guy.
