COOS BAY, Ore. – A Coos County woman who allegedly strangled her boyfriend during a fight was arrested on Monday evening on multiple assault charges, according to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.

CCSO officials said a deputy responded shortly before 8:30 p.m. on March 10 to a reported disturbance at a home on Crown Point Road in Coos Bay. The caller told dispatchers that he’d been assaulted and strangled by his girlfriend in the presence of their child, according to sheriff’s officials. Authorities said that a responding deputy was told by the victim that an altercation with his girlfriend, identified as 45-year-old Amy Holt, turned physical when she grabbed and twisted a glass necklace he was wearing which briefly caused him to become lightheaded as he struggled to breathe. Holt’s alleged actions also left red marks and scratches on the victim’s neck and that Holt reportedly also attempted to kick the victim, sheriff’s deputies said. Coos County sheriff’s officials said that Holt was vague and inconsistent in the details she provided about the incident when she was interviewed.

Holt was arrested and transported to the Coos County Jail on charges of domestic strangulation, unlawful use of a weapon, and harassment, sheriff’s officials said. Jail records show that Holt remains in custody as of March 11, 2025.
