MILLERSBURG — Arrested Saturday, a Millersburg woman has denied criminal charges she assaulted her boyfriend.
Melissa L. Johnston, 48, of 800 S. Washington St., Lot 3, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in Holmes County Municipal Court to a single count of domestic violence.
The charge is made a fourth-degree felony because Johnston previously, in February 2008, was convicted of domestic violence in Holmes County Municipal Court. If convicted of the new charge, Johnston faces up to 18 months in prison.
