BABBITT- A local man here was charged with felony threats of violence but remained at large as the Timberjay went to press. Michael Shaun Jarvis, age 37, was cited on March 4 for an alleged domestic assault on Friday, Feb. 28. The Minnesota Sixth District Court currently lists an active warrant for his detention.
According to court documents, St. Louis County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Garrick responded shortly after noon when a female witness reported to law enforcement that she had been on the phone with a woman acquaintance when she heard the woman scream that she was being assaulted by Jarvis, who is a member of her household. The phone call was then disconnected.
Garrick arrived at the victim’s residence where she told Garrick that she was getting ready to leave for work when Jarvis took her keys and wallet and then locked her out of the house. When she got back inside, Jarvis was “slamming things around.” He told her that she and her unborn child “deserve to be six feet under.” Jarvis then took all the keys to all the vehicles and left the house.
The woman said that Jarvis intimidates and scares her at least weekly. When she mentions calling the police about his behavior, he tells her that he will “stack them up like cordwood” and will “stack her like cordwood.” Jarvis was convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault in 2022 and felony stalking in 2023. The woman involved in the latest incident was the victim in both prior cases.
Jarvis received three years of probation for the stalking conviction, sentenced on Feb. 27, 2023.
