Cheyenne Transient Accused of Head-Butting, Choking Friend

A 47-year-old Cheyenne transient is facing a felony charge after reportedly head-butting and choking his friend.

Physical Disturbance Leads to Felony Arrest

According to a booking sheet, police were called to a physical disturbance at a home in the 800 block of Windmill Road at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 19.

Police say the reporting person told them he was lying in bed and was assaulted by Charles Edward Head, a friend he had over.

'Head-Butted' and 'Choked'

Police say the victim had head injuries to his nose and mouth with dried blood on his face and mouth and told them that Head "head-butted" him multiple times and "choked" him.

Police say when they tried to contact Head, who'd locked himself in a room, he refused to open the door, so they had to force it open.

Head was then forced to the ground, handcuffed, taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for jail clearance, and booked into the Laramie County Detention Center.
