A rural Shawano man is facing two felony counts of false imprisonment after an alleged domestic disturbance in Wescott on Thursday.
Deion J. Boivin, 20, could face a maximum possible penalty of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count if found guilty. He is also charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property, possession of drug paraphernalia and intentionally abusing a hazardous substance.
Boivin had allegedly been “huffing” compressed air prior to the disturbance, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint alleges Boivin prevented two women who live in the residence from leaving after what started as a verbal dispute.
A third person who lives in the home apparently left through a window and ran to a neighbor’s home to contact authorities.
A Shawano County sheriff’s deputy responding to the scene saw an open window at the back of the house with a screen removed and footprints leading away.
Boivin was ordered held on a $2,500 cash bond after an appearance Friday before Shawano-Menominee Circuit Court Judge William Kussel Jr. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday.
