City police were dispatched to the motel for a reported battery when 36 year old Kenneth Adams of Lafayette reported he had been assaulted and strangled by 42 year old Willard Solberg of Knox.
Adams had visible signs of injury consistent with his side of the story according to Officer Emenhiser.

Police found an active warrant through Fulton County for Solberg.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
