Ex Charged After Phone Forced Down Woman's Throat
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Missouri man has been accused of forcing a cell phone down his ex-girlfriend's throat last week.
Police in Kansas City said Marlon Brando Gill has been charged with felony assault.
According to court documents, Melinda Abell told detectives that Gill, her ex-boyfriend, had forced her into a car and demanded to see her cell phone. They were stopped in a parking lot, and Abell said Gill grabbed her by the mouth, held it open and shoved the phone down her throat until it became lodged. Surgeons had to remove it.
Police initially issued a statement saying she had swallowed the phone. A spokesman now explains that investigators weren't able to talk to her until after the surgery.
Police are searching for Gill. He is 5 feet 9 inches and 180 pounds. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-8477.
Abell remained hospitalized, but officials said her condition is improving.
