Stark City man charged with domestic assault, kidnapping, animal abuse


A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. December 22 in Newton County Circuit Court for Brett Adrian Mahurin (DOB 1988), Stark City, who is being held on a $2,500 cash bond after being charged with domestic assault, kidnapping and misdemeanor animal abuse.

According to the probable cause statement, Mahurin hit a woman over the head with a baseball bat December 13, then kept her from her phone and wouldn't allow her to leave to seek medical help.







Mahurin told the woman "he would burn her alive in the house" if she called the police.

The animal abuse charge came after Mahurin allegedly threw a puppy off the porch causing an injury to the puppy's rear left leg, according to the probable cause statement.

The case was investigated by the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
