Lack of love song led to assault

AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) - July 12, 2011

Specifically, Ambridge police say 29-year-old Jason Banks choked then hit his girlfriend in the face after she complained that he had never written a song about her even though he had written songs about other women.

Banks did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday to a home phone listed in his name.

The Beaver County Times says police filed the charge a day after the alleged June 30 assault.

Online court records show Banks is free on bond awaiting a preliminary hearing on July 25. Those records do not list a defense attorney for him.
