Frackville Man Accused of Choking Victim Unconscious, Pushing Her Down Stairs



A Frackville man has been charged following a reported domestic assault incident investigated by Frackville Police Department.
Police say Isaiah Alexavier Marchorro, 20, of Frackville, was charged with felony strangulation, simple assault, and harassment stemming from an incident reported on Sunday, January 4, 2026.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, officers received a call at approximately 7:02 p.m. reporting a domestic assault that was no longer in progress. The caller, a friend of the alleged victim, reported being told that the victim had been choked unconscious and pushed down a flight of stairs earlier in the evening at her residence. The caller also stated that prior assaults had occurred, but the victim had been afraid to involve police.

Police subsequently made contact with the alleged victim, who confirmed that Marchorro placed both hands around her neck and choked her until she lost consciousness. She further reported being pushed down a flight of stairs, striking her head on the wall and steps. The victim complained of head pain and believed she may have suffered a concussion but declined medical treatment. She also reported abrasions to her elbows and knees caused by being pushed and dragged throughout the residence.

Officers later traveled to the victim’s workplace to observe and document injuries. Police reported observing swelling and a contusion on the rear left side of her head, red marks on her neck and hands, and abrasions on both elbows and knees with light bleeding.

Based on officer observations and the information provided, Marchorro was charged with one count of strangulation, a felony of the second degree; one count of simple assault, a misdemeanor of the second degree; and one count of harassment.

Marchorro was arraigned before Edward Tarantelli and committed to Schuylkill County Prison on $25,000 straight cash bail. Court records indicate he posted bail on Monday and was subsequently released.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 28, 2026, before Judge Tarantelli.
