Police say McKenzie allegedly choked the woman and struck her with a belt after a violent argument.
He has been was charged with assault, strangulation, breach of peace and unlawful restraint.
This isn't his first violent offense though. According to the paper, McKenzie was already on conditional discharge stemming from an arrest in Hartford for allegedly pistol-whipping a nightclub promoter.

In regard to Tuesday's incident, he has been released after posting $10,000 bond and is due back in court July 15.
