WESTON MAN ACCUSED OF PUSHING WOMAN FROM VEHICLE FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES

WESTON – A Weston man accused of pushing a woman from a moving vehicle is being held on a $500,000 bond.

33-yrd-old Shawn Mitchell was arrested at the scene of the incident on June 22 after police say he forced the woman out of his car on the Maple Ridge Road off-ramp from Interstate 39. Mitchell told officers he wasn’t driving and claimed the woman fell out of the car. However, witnesses said it appeared she was pushed. She was found unresponsive at the scene with a head injury.

Police say Mitchell did not call 911 and refused a breathalyzer test. Mitchell is charged with battery with a domestic violence enhancer and his eighth OWI offense. He is also facing a separate charge related to child pornography. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 23 in Marathon County Court.
