ROME — A 21-year-old woman is accused of hitting her ex-boyfriend and breaking his jewelry during an argument, according to the Rome Police Department.

Police said Andrea R. Maltais, of Rome, was in an argument with her ex-boyfriend on Ridge Street in Rome at about 6:50 p.m. May 3. When the ex went to leave, police said Maltais grabbed him by the two necklaces around his neck and pulled, choking him for a moment, before the necklaces broke.

Maltais also struck her ex in the head, police stated. The ex called 911 and Maltais left the scene, so a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was taken into custody on Tuesday.

Maltais is charged with one count each of second-degree harassment and fourth-degree mischief, police stated. She is scheduled to appear in Rome City Court.
