A pickup basketball game at the Life Time gym in Gainesville ended with a 42-year-old man in handcuffs after he reportedly put a teen in a chokehold.
Police say the suspect, Andre Nygel Jospeh of Ashburn, got into a heated exchange with a 17-year-old during a game. The argument escalated when Joseph allegedly pushed the teen to the ground and choked him. Joseph left before officers arrived but was later found and arrested.
He’s been charged with strangulation and assault & battery and was released on personal recognizance.
