Michael Salgado, Jr., the son of Grammy winner Michael Salgado, was arrested on Thursday (June 4) in San Antonio and charged with strangulation of a family member, a third-degree felony.
KSAT.com reports the 27-year-old was taken into custody around 11 a.m. Thursday after investigators said he lifted up his girlfriend by the neck and choked her against a refrigerator on Monday. He is accused of attacking the woman, who is also the mother of his child, after accusing her of infidelity, according to a warrant for Salgado’s arrest.
The woman told police that Salgado demanded to see her cellphone, and after she refused, he pulled her by the hair, knocked her to the floor, and then lifted her up by her neck and impeded her breathing while holding her against a refrigerator.
Salgado smashed her cellphone, but she was able to activate another phone and call police as she and the child escaped the home, the warrant states.
He was released from jail on a $20,000 bond, according to jail records.
