Apparently, Meade County isn’t exactly aggressive about pursuing domestic abuse cases .
Shad Olson was arrested earlier this year and charged because of an alleged incidence of violence that took place at his home north of Rapid City. He was taken into custody by the Meade County Sheriff’s office. The two felony charges were for domestic abuse and aggravated assault involving serious bodily injury, and another for strangulation. Both were dropped, according to court documents
and..
“The state has agreed to dismiss the felony charges currently pending and has agreed to a remand of this matter to magistrate court for further proceedings on the remaining misdemeanor charges,” Love wrote in his motion. He declined to comment when contacted by The Dakota Scout.
And the states attorney, Michele Bordewyk, is a female!!! Outrageous!! Apparently she has never feared for her life by an mentally ill male physically abusing & threatening her life. Unfortunately she was just reelected. What a travesty of justice!!
Nothing unusual these days with weak judges and states attorneys. Expect more of the same.
No way should Doeden’s buddy have his charges reduced to a Misdemeanor.
I agree. He needs anger management. I know that from first hand experience. He is dangerous!
