BOURBON — Terry J. Shaw, 39, 317 W. Park Avenue, Bourbon, is being charged with domestic battery with moderate bodily injury, a level 6 felony and domestic battery a class A misdemeanor.
On July 9, an officer with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call from a woman who claimed she had been battered by her husband.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, the woman and Shaw had been in an argument earlier, outside their residence.
During the argument, Shaw became angry and his wife reported being afraid and fearing for her safety. She attempted to get away from Shaw by getting into her vehicle through the driver’s side, but Shaw also entered the vehicle.
Shaw’s wife tried to climb into the backseat to escape him and Shaw pushed her, causing her face to hit the backseat. Shaw’s wife told the officer Shaw climbed on top of her and grabbed her by the neck.
The officer observed the right side of Shaw’s wife’s face being swollen and a small cut on her right hand. She also reported a lot of pain in her right shoulder. The officer photographed the injuries.
Shaw is being held on a bond of $6,000 surety and cash.
