Officers arrived to the apartment complex and spoke the the victim of the assault who had multiple visible injuries. He alleged that Cody Pyron, 23, had come to the complex to speak to the victim’s girlfriend. The girlfriend was “talking to” both the victim and Pyron and had recently chosen to date the victim exclusively.

The victim stated that Pyron had spoken to his girlfriend shortly before punching the victim and putting him in a choke hold. He said Pyron continued striking him and they both fell to the ground. Pyron then allegedly wielded a pocket knife and swung it in the direction of the victim.
