It alleges domestic assault by strangulation.<\/p>\n<p>A criminal charge is an allegation. Tucker is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n<h2>Woman Called 911<\/h2>\n<p>Court records say a woman called 911 on May 14. She said she was pregnant, and Tucker had choked her.<\/p>\n<p>The call came from a home in Audubon. A Becker County deputy responded to the residence.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint alleges Tucker grabbed the woman by her neck. She reported having trouble breathing during the incident.<\/p>\n<p>A teenage boy was present inside the home. Court records say he stepped in and stopped the alleged assault.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Shawn-Tucker.png\" alt=\"Shawn Tucker mugshot\" \/><figcaption>Shawn Tucker mugshot.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Additional Assault Claims<\/h2>\n<p>Documents say Tucker later followed the woman into the kitchen. He allegedly pulled her hair after the first struggle ended.<\/p>\n<p>The woman threw a bowl of soup over her shoulder. She told investigators she did so to make Tucker stop.<\/p>\n<p>The deputy reported red marks on her chest and chin. The deputy also noted a bruise on her upper left arm.<\/p>\n<p>The woman described earlier abuse during April. She also showed investigators photos of badly swollen black eyes.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview, Tucker admitted to grabbing her neck and hair, the complaint states. The court filing does not establish guilt.<\/p>\n<h2>Bond and Release Conditions<\/h2>\n<p>On June 6, an unconditional bond was set at $60,000. A conditional bond was set at $30,000.<\/p>\n<p>The court also set conditional cash bail at $3,000. Those terms barred alcohol, drugs, and contact with the woman.<\/p>\n<p>On June 25, Tucker was released without posting bail. The release came with several court-ordered conditions.<\/p>\n<p>He may not contact the alleged victims. He also may not use alcohol or illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The order allows release to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mntc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Adult &amp; Teen Challenge<\/a> staff. That transfer depends on an available treatment bed.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota law addresses domestic assault by strangulation under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.2247\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Section 609.2247<\/a>.
