Man Accused of Strangling Wife Turns Himself In

A 22-year-old Novato man turned himself in to police Monday after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with an alleged assault on his wife, police said Tuesday.

Kash Amos, who gave his occupation as an electrician when he was booked at Marin County Jail, is accused to trying to strangle his 20-year-old wife and endangering their 7-month old baby, Lt. Keith Heiden said.

On April 13, the sister of the man's wife called police to say Amos was attacking her sister in another bedroom of a home on Olive Avenue. The wife kicked at the door to get the attention of her sister, according to the responding officer's report. The baby, who had been on a bed with the woman, fell off the bed during the altercation.

Amos fled the home before police arrived, Heiden said. The baby was unhurt and the woman had minor injuries, he said.

Amos went to the police station on Machin Avenue at 10:09 p.m. Monday and surrendered to police. He faces two felony charges of inflicting injury on a spouse and one of willful cruelty to a child.
