A Mesa man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault after choking his girlfriend during an argument about his erectile dysfunction, according to police reports.
Brent Cornils, 49, and his girlfriend were arguing around 2 a.m. Monday in his apartment near University and Country Club drives when he grabbed her from behind and pulled her to the floor by her hair, police said.
Cornils began applying pressure to the back of her neck and suffocating her against the carpet, causing her to begin losing her breath, police said.
The victim told police she felt she was going to black out and recalled begging God to take her, according to police.
She managed to break free, and Cornils fled when she said she was calling the police, police said.
Police observed rug burns on her nose, chin and arms, but she refused to press charges because she said she loved Cornils and did not want him to go to jail, police said.
Cornils told police his girlfriend was the aggressor because she was upset with his erectile dysfunction, police said.
