An arrest warrant has been issued for an Amery man accused of threatening bodily harm and battery after reportedly beating a guy, accusing him of a felony, and brandishing a gun at him.
Trevor W. Olson, 46, was charged with two felonies on December 4 in Barron County Circuit Court: threats to injure or accuse of a crime and possession of methamphetamine as a repeater, as well as misdemeanours of wilfully pointing a pistol at a person, violence, and disorderly conduct.
If convicted of the threat to hurt charge, Olson risks a $10,000 fine and up to six years in jail. On Thursday, he was issued an arrest warrant.
According to the criminal complaint, a Barron County Sheriff’s officer received a report from a guy named P.A.S., who said Olson had physically assaulted him and threatened him with a gun.
P.A.S., who lives in Clayton with his elderly mother who has dementia, stated that he had a long-term relationship with Olson.
The defendant requested to come over to use the shower and do laundry. When P.A.S. answered no, Olson became irritated and showed up at the house anyway.
P.A.S. indicated that he and the defendant used methamphetamine to get high. Olson began washing his clothes and subsequently accused the victim of going through his backpack and stealing items. P.A.S. indicated that he did not unzip, open, or search the backpack.
Olson became agitated when questioning P.A.S. and began pounding the victim repeatedly on the left side of his face.
According to P.A.S., Olson pulled out a black.He pulled a 45-caliber handgun from his rucksack and aimed the barrel in his face multiple times, saying him he was going to kill him and his mother. The defendant continued to strike him in the face while holding the revolver.
When Olson finished his laundry, he directed P.A.S. to carry it to his pickup truck. The defendant followed P.A.S., brandishing a revolver and aiming it at him. P.A.S. carried the clothes into the defendant’s pickup, and Olson threatened him again as he walked back to the house, stating a bullet was faster than P.A.S.’s ability to flee.
According to P.A.S., Olson then compelled him to prepare and sign a document naming the defendant as the owner of a John Deere lawnmower, a Cub Cadet trailer and an air compressor. Olson also ordered him to hand over the spare keys to the house and his car.
Olson directed P.A.S. to return to the defendant’s truck and continued to aim the rifle at P.A. S.
P.A.S. got into the defendant’s truck, but as they went about a third of a mile down the road, Olson started making statements about needing to fill up with petrol because he was running low.
Olson drove back to P.A.S.’s house and was permitted back inside. He calculated that it was about 12:30 a.m. on November 25. He stayed in his residence and went to bed, waking up around 4:30 a.m. on November 25 to go to work.
