NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut man who authorities say is a suspect in the death of his ex-girlfriend has pleaded not guilty in connection with an alleged attack on her just two days before she disappeared.
WTIC-TV reports that Jason Watson pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges including strangulation, assault and unlawful restraint.
Thirty-one-year-old Perrie Mason, of Meriden, was reported missing on Aug. 17. The mother of two’s body was found four days later in Waterbury near where authorities said Watson worked. No charges relating to her death have been filed.
Watson has denied harming Mason. He is accused of assaulting Mason on Aug. 15.
Watson remains detained on $2 million bail. His next court date is Nov. 4.
