(AP) — A 30-year-old southeast Nebraska man is scheduled to be sentenced July 1 for strangulation.

Paul Potter pleaded no contest to strangulation. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Prosecutors dropped several misdemeanor charges in exchange for Potter’s plea.

Court records say Potter lives in Friend.

York County Attorney Candace Dick says officers were dispatched to a York house in January to investigate a report of a domestic problem. A woman told the officers that she’d asked Potter to leave, causing him to lose his temper.

Dick says the woman said Potter threw her on a bed and choked her.
