Argument Over Car Title Leads to Attempted Murder Charge

An argument over a car title turned physical, leading to an attempted murder charge last night at the 1900 block of Bay Hill loop in northeast Bismarck.

During an argument between a 54-year-old Bismarck man and a 47-year-old woman over a car title, the man assaulted the woman by strangling, beating, and holding a knife against her throat.

A 21-year-old family member tried to intervene and called 911, at which point the man grabbed the phone.

When police arrived, they forcefully removed the man from the victim and charged him with attempted murder, interference with a 911 call, and preventing arrest.
