Naytahwaush Man Faces 2 Felony Assault Charges<\/h2>\n

Naytahwaush<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Naytahwaush man faces two felony assault charges involving his 14-year-old son.<\/p>\n

Lyman Ray Weaver is charged with felony domestic assault and felony third-degree assault.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an October 12, 2025, incident in Mahnomen County.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Weaver punched the teenager in the face, causing significant dental and facial injuries.<\/p>\n

Teen Taken To Hospital<\/h2>\n

Law enforcement responded to an assault report at a Naytahwaush residence.<\/p>\n

The teenage victim had already been taken by ambulance to Mahnomen Health Center.<\/p>\n

Investigators learned the boy had walked to his brother’s home with three friends.<\/p>\n

The group was listening to music when Weaver came from a bedroom, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told investigators that Weaver appeared intoxicated and began confronting the group.<\/p>\n

The teenager said Weaver pushed him during the dispute.<\/p>\n

Witnesses also reported Weaver removed a BB gun from the teenager’s hands.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Weaver then pushed the teenager backward.<\/p>\n

The teenager reportedly grabbed a stool in an effort to protect himself.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Weaver then punched his son in the face.<\/p>\n

Dental Injuries Reported<\/h2>\n

An officer later observed significant injuries to the teenager’s mouth.<\/p>\n

One upper front tooth had been pushed backward toward the roof of his mouth.<\/p>\n

Investigators also reported fresh blood around the teenager’s gums.<\/p>\n

Another tooth may also have been damaged, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

The teenager had a swollen upper lip and small cuts inside his mouth.<\/p>\n

He also reported pain near his nose, gums, and left thumb.<\/p>\n

Two Felony Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

Each charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.<\/p>\n

Each charge also carries a possible fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

The felony domestic assault count is based partly on prior qualifying assault convictions.<\/p>\n

The complaint cites assault convictions from 2016 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors requested a warrant because Weaver was not arrested on the incident date.<\/p>\n

The case is filed as Mahnomen County court file 44-CR-25-788.<\/p>\n

Readers can review Minnesota Statute 609.2242<\/a> regarding domestic assault.<\/p>\n

Third-degree assault law appears under Minnesota Statute 609.223<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additional court information is available through the Minnesota Judicial Branch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n

Weaver is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/p>\n
