An incident report details an incident that saw the Richland County Sheriff's Department arrest a now former South Carolina Highway Patrolman on assault charges.
According to the report, 48-year-old Gregory Miller assaulted a woman who had been his girlfriend for 12 years.
The report goes on to say Miller showed up in the victim's front yard on Sept. 17 to talk to her, but discussion grew louder and more heated quickly.
The altercation moved inside the home, the report says, and Miller started to shake the woman angrily while she tried to get him to leave.
The report continues and says Miller then began to choke the woman and allegedly told her, "If you tell my wife, are you prepared to suffer the consequences?"
After that, the report says Miller finally left the residence and the victim called 911 to report the incident.
The Department of Public Safety says Miller had been with the Highway Patrol since 2007, but he was terminated as a result of the charges against him, which include assault and battery.
