03/11/1994 (32), violated the law as set forth herein. On June 14, 2026, at approximately 10:00 PM, Alexandria Police Officers responded to a residence in Alexandria, Douglas County, Minnesota regarding a domestic assault. It was reported that Brittany Steidl (“the Defendant”) had tried to strangle her father, Scott Steidl, and then left the scene. Upon arrival, Ofc. Burdette spoke with Scott. He said that his daughter, the Defendant, had shown up at his house with two other people, one of whom was upset with Scott for letting his dog outside.

The argument continued between the Defendant and Scott, who had gone inside trying to get away. The pair then went outside, and the Defendant pushed him to the ground. The Defendant put him in a chokehold, which restricted his breathing. While choking him, the Defendant said, “I’m going to kill your ass.” The Defendant’s partner intervened and left with the Defendant. Witnesses reported seeing the Defendant and Scott arguing before the Defendant pushed Scott outside causing him to fall. The Defendant was located later that night driving her vehicle in Alexandria.

Sgt. Rosha conducted a traffic stop and advised why he had stopped her. The Defendant admitted to arguing with her father but denied pushing him, saying he was the one who pushed her. Based on conflicting witness statements, the Defendant was placed under arrest for Domestic Assault – Strangulation and transported to the Douglas County Jail. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 609.49, intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court.
