Woodbury Arrest Leads to Third Domestic Abuse Conviction for Rosemount Man

A Washington County judge on Oct. 28 sentenced Rosemount resident Michael Scott Hanuman, 20, to five years probation in connection with his third domestic abuse-related offense in two years.

According to a criminal complaint from the Washington County Attorney's office, Woodbury police arrested Hanuman at I-494 and Lake Road in Dec. 2010 for violating a no-contact order against the driver of the vehicle in which he was riding.

It was Hanuman's second conviction of violating a protection order, which constitutes a felony.

In Aug. 2010, Hanuman was convicted by Washington County District Court Judge Elizabeth Martin of domestic abuse by strangulation. As part of his sentence, Judge Martin ordered Hanuman to have no contact with his victim. 

Hanuman violated that order and was convicted in Dakota County in Nov. 2010. 

Hanuman's sentence also included the following conditions:

• Stay of execution of 18-month sentence;
• Five years probation;
• 100 days in the Washington County Jail (with credit for 100 days served);
• Complete Human Services Inc. Bob Kelly Domestic Abuse Treatment program;
• Abstain from the use of all mood-altering chemicals, including alcohol (submit to random testing at own expense);
• Complete an updated mental health evaluation and follow all recommendations;
• Complete a chemical dependency evaluation and follow all recommendations;
• Have no same or similar offenses, remain law abiding and cooperate with all the standard conditions of probation;
• Cooperate with the transfer of his supervision to his county of residence;
• Follow all the standard conditions of the Intensive Supervision Unit
