A local man has been indicted on charges that allege he strangled his “intimate partner” three times in the same day in Antrim. 

Robert Davidson, 35, of Hillsborough, was indicted on three class-B felony counts of second-degree assault at the Hillsborough County Superior Court earlier this month according to court documents. 

Davidson allegedly caused his intimate partner to experience impeded breathing after strangling her on Sept. 16, 2018. 

Steven Sakers, 29, of Greenville was indicted on a class-B felony count of burglary and a class-A felony count of theft by unauthorized taking.

Sakers allegedly stole from a Manchester property, identified in the indictments as “an occupied structure adapted for the overnight accommodations of persons at a time when the premises were not open to the public,” on Aug. 20, 2018. 

(Editor’s note: Due to incorrect court documents, Sakers’ age was reported incorrectly in an earlier version of this article.)

Court records say Sakers stole U.S. currency, jewelry, and other items, which have been valued at over $1,500. 

Aaron Barrett, 28, of Antrim, was indicted on a class-B felony count hindering apprehension of prosecution and receiving stolen property.
