A man who police say beat and choked a woman before keeping them at bay during a standoff early today is in jail.

Officers said they arrived at Lake Avenue at North Anthony Boulevard about 3:30 a.m. in response to gunshots heard in the area, according to a news release.

Police said the woman told them the suspect beat and choked her and was inside a residence in the 1700 block of Lake.

The man refused to cooperate with officers and emergency services and crisis response teams were called and the man eventually surrendered.

Neon Latross Frazier, 43, is charged with domestic battery and strangulation, both felonies.

A portion of Lake between North Anthony and Morton Street was closed during the incident. Lake reopened about 7:30 a.m.

The incident remains under investigation.
