TAHLEQUAH — A Northeastern State University student was formally charged Tuesday afternoon with first-degree burglary and assault and battery.

Mohammad Saleh Alaji, 23, was charged with forcing his way into the home of Amy Proctor on Aug. 2. Reports state Proctor and her two children were asleep when the incident occurred.

An affidavit filed by NSU Police Sgt. Jim Flores states Alaji, a native of Saudi Arabia, was attempting to get on top of Proctor while she slept on the couch. She was able to escape from Alaji and get him out of the house.

One of the children was allegedly assaulted by Alaji. Court documents state Alaji put the child in a choke hold.

Flores’ affidavit states he spoke to the Bureau of Consulate Affairs after taking a report on the incident.

Alaji’s bond is set at $10,000. He is represented by Tulsa attorney Marvin Lizama. Assistant District Attorney Josh King is prosecuting the case.

First-degree burglary is punishable by imprisonment for seven to 20 years. Assault and battery is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
