Cornelius Jefferson, 33, is in police custody for allegedly chocking his new girlfriend after finally meeting her in person once he moved from Georgia to Kentucky. Upon his arrival Tuesday morning at 4:20am, it was evident that the woman looked nothing like her online dating profile and proceeded to attack her.
He is now facing fourth-degree assault and according to The Laurel County Sheriff’s Department, “The argument was allegedly because the male subject didn’t think she was like she was on the internet.” In addition, “He allegedly choked her with both hands around the neck and threw food on her and left the scene on foot with two suitcases.”
Soon after the incident, deputies were called to the property, while Jefferson was found walking in a nearby area. He is currently being held in the Laurel County detention Facility.
