A Lenoir City man who remained jailed Tuesday is accused of punching a Clinton resident in the throat at his home and taking two Xbox 360 game systems and a Nintendo Wii.
The victim said he had opened the door for an acquaintance, Carson Garrett Hall, 22, of Lenoir City, at a home on Carden Farm Road in Clinton on Aug. 18, and he was immediately punched in the throat, according to arrest warrants filed in Anderson County General Sessions Court.
The victim said he fell to the floor, holding his throat in pain and trying to catch his breath, a court affidavit said.
As he tried to get up, Hall allegedly grabbed the game systems from a living room entertainment center and yanked the cords from the wall, the affidavit said. The victim said he was able to get up, follow Hall outside, and watch him drive off in a gold Chevrolet Impala.
Hall was arrested Friday by the Oak Ridge Police Department. He has been charged with aggravated burglary, theft, and assault, and he remains jailed in lieu of $55,300 bond. He has a court hearing scheduled for Oct. 25.
