UPDATE: 4:40 p.m.: Man arrested on preliminary charges of strangulation

A man was arrested on preliminary charges of strangulation Sunday, according to the Bloomington Police Department.\nBPD officers were dispatched to the 700 block of South Clarizz Boulevard after a resident in a neighboring apartment heard a male and female screaming, said Sgt. Mic Williams. Officers initially could not make contact with anyone inside the apartment where the screaming came from, Williams said, reading from a police report.\nAn officer heard a female crying inside the apartment and, after continually knocking on the door, announced that the officers would force their way in if no one answered. At that point, Ryan Rene, 27, answered the door. Rene denied there had been any problems. The officer located the female she had heard crying in the back bedroom of the apartment. The officer observed scratches and red marks on the female's left arm and neck. The female told the officer that she and Rene were supposed to meet up with each other while they were out earlier that night. The two never ended up meeting, and when they returned home, they began to argue.\nRene told the female to get out of the apartment, Williams said. He then threw a cell phone at her and it hit her on the left side of the head. Rene picked up the female with both hands around her neck in an attempt to throw her out of the apartment, according to the police report. The female tried to fight him off and made her way back into the apartment. Rene kept the female in the back bedroom when officers arrived to prevent her from answering the door, Williams said.\nRene initially denied that there was any physical altercation. He later admitted there was some physical altercation but did not elaborate, Williams said.\nRene was taken into custody by Bloomington police and booked on preliminary charges of strangulation, a class D felony; criminal confinement, a class D felony; and domestic battery, a class A misdemeanor.
