-A Marshfield appeared in Wood County Court for drug charges and threatening to harm a woman and her unborn child.Back in September, Tyler Ress, age 23, punched a 28-year-old pregnant Marshfield woman multiple times to try and make her miscarry. He then doused her in gasoline, threatening to light her on fire. Ress and his victim have had several instances of violence against one another.
Ress has seven total charges filed against him. They are 1st-degree recklessly endangering safety, strangulation and suffocation, false imprisonment, abortion of unborn child by another, battery, disorderly conduct, and contact after domestic abuse arrest.
Ress was supposed to have his trial this week, but his attorney moved for a continuance because he wanted to have Ress? victim evaluated by an expert before she took the stand during the trial.
The judge was concerned about that because Ress had filed a speedy trial demand and by not having the trial this week and delaying it further, they would no longer fall into the time limit defined in the demand.
In the end, all parties decided to hold the trial at the beginning of September.
Ress is currently being held in the Wood County Jail on a $10,000 bond and if convicted he could face 50 years in prison.
