UNITY, Maine — A Unity man used his hands to choke his girlfriend Sunday afternoon and also hit her with a tablet computer hard enough to break the screen, according to a report from the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office.

He was taken to Waldo County Jail in Belfast, where he remained Monday morning, Trundy said.
