A Desert Cedars senior is accused of a tooth-shattering assault on his nephew after trapping him in a doorframe Wednesday. Patrick James Stahoviak, 60, faces a year in jail on assault charges. 

Maricopa Police Department responded to the family home on Desert Willow Drive just before 8 p.m. A caller told dispatchers that Stahoviak had assaulted his 35-year-old nephew, according to the probable cause statement.  

Stahoviak reportedly shut a bedroom door on his nephew’s foot, trapping him. As his aunt tried to help free him, Stahoviak allegedly punched his nephew in the face, knocking out one of his front teeth.

According to public records, Stahoviak lived in Milwaukee when he pleaded no contest to selling cocaine in a Wisconsin court in 2002. He was busted with more than 15 grams of cocaine in 2001 and had been selling at least since 1999, according to court records. 

Two decades later, he pleaded no contest to delivering drug paraphernalia from Tempe to Wisconsin and was ordered to pay a court in that state $38,950, according to the records. 

Stahoviak was booked into the Pinal County jail Wednesday.
