An argument over a car title turned physical, leading to an attempted murder charge last night at the 1900 block of Bay Hill loop in northeast Bismarck.
During an argument between a 54-year-old Bismarck man and a 47-year-old woman over a car title, the man assaulted the woman by strangling, beating, and holding a knife against her throat.
