A 25-year-old Austin man was arrested Monday morning after allegedly shoving a woman.
Derik Winter is being held in the Mower County jail awaiting a likely fifth-degree domestic assault charge, according to Police Chief Brian Krueger.
Krueger said the woman reported the assault at 11 a.m. Monday morning. She said it happened around 1 a.m. but she didn’t have access to a phone to call the police.
She said Winter and her were in a verbal argument when he grabbed her by the back of the neck and shoved her, according to Krueger.
Charges will likely be filed in the coming days.
