A Chesco jury found Adrian Rodriguez, 37, of Kennett Square, guilty of simple assault and child endangerment, District Attorney Deb Ryan said in a statement. 

According to police, Rodriguez was arrested outside a home on the 500 block of Las Rosas Drive in Kennett Square on Nov. 24, 2021 following a domestic disturbance.

At the time, Kennett Square police accused him of "grabb[ing] a juvenile by the collar of their shirt" and "choking them." An adult victim also told investigators she had been repeatedly slammed into a car door so hard that the vehicle was dented.

Rodriguez will be sentenced in a hearing set for Nov. 29, state court records show.
