A witness called police after allegedly seeing a man dragging his wife from the driveway into their home in the 600 block of Lalor Drive in Manchester Nov. 27.

Manchester Police said after they arrived and forced entry into the home, they found the woman was badly beaten. Police said the woman's husband, George Strahan, 45, choked and beat her.

The woman needed surgery for a lacerated spleen, according to a probable cause statement filed by Manchester Police.

Strahan, of the 600 block of Lalor Drive in Manchester, was charged Nov. 27 with second-degree domestic assault in the incident. He was being held Monday in St. Louis County jail. Bail was set at $50,000.
