A 74-year-old Springfield man has been accused of choking a family member over a borrowed lawnmower.

John Castle has been charged with misdemeanor assault in Clark County Municipal Court. Springfield police said in a report that the victim told them Castle allowed him to take the lawnmower but came to his home in the 400 block of South Western Avenue on Monday demanding it back.
