The U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Division investigated the case, according to the statement.

The woman’s eye and cheek were bruised and her neck lacerated, according to the release.

Hammock was indicted March 3, 2022, on one count of assault of a spouse by strangulation committed by a person employed by the armed forces outside the U.
