A Prague man has waived his preliminary hearing on a charge of felony assault and battery charge following a reported altercation with his girl friend.
Trevor Wade Mills, 23, was formally charged in Lincoln County District July 10 this year with domestic assault and battery by strangulation.
He made his initial appearance on July 18. His bond has been set at $3,000.
On Oct. 17, he waived his preliminary hearing. His arraignment has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 19, 2024.
Mills is accused on May 10 this year in Lincoln County of committing an assault and battery by strangulation or attempted strangulation against Brooke Stanley, his girl friend, by choking her.
Lincoln County Sheriff Detective George Kelly Coleman, in a probable cause affidavit, states he reviewed a report that Stanley had called 911 stating that she had been on the phone with her boy friend Mills when he reportedly shot himself. She said she had heard what sounded like a gunshot then what sounded like the phone falling to the floor.
Stanley gave a Meeker address in Lincoln County.
According to the affidavit, when deputies arrived they talked with Trevor’s uncle Shane and Mills who were standing outside.
Mills said a domestic situation had occurred but denied a physical altercation with his girl friend and noted she had left.
Deputies noticed blood on Mills’ shirt near the inner side of his elbow and he told them he had cut himself on glass and didn’t need medical attention. He refused treatment even though an ambulance had responded.
Deputies contacted Stanley at the Stroud Police Department and she told them Mills had shoved her shoulder with his hands and was being aggressive with her.
She further advised the deputies that Mills had driven recklessly after they had gone to dinner in Shawnee, that he had been drinking, he became very angry and punched the glass door breaking the glass, cutting his arm.
Stanley informed the deputies he later choked and pushed her and after she had left kept calling her and threatened to shoot himself and that he wanted her to hear it.
Deputies later applied for an arrest warrant for the charge filed against Mills.
