TAMPA - Police say a 21-year-old man beat and choked his 16-year-old wife and his 2-year-old stepdaughter after the child made a mess with cotton swabs and powder.
Tampa police arrested Timothy Joseph Gilley of Tampa about 1:40 a.m. today on several felony charges involving choking, false imprisonment and child abuse, records show. He also is charged with violating probation on burglary and grand theft charges.
Gilley was being held without bail at Orient Road Jail.
According to an affidavit, Gilley on Wednesday removed the 2-year-old's diaper and began hitting her back and buttocks after discovering the mess. When his wife tried to intervene, he grabbed her by the hair, struck her on the head, choked her and took her cell phone, the affidavit states.
Gilley also locked his wife in the house, police said.
On Thursday, Gilley's wife was allowed to leave the house to go to night school, police said. She went to a friend's house and called police.
