(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man could receive prison time on allegations of pushing a pregnant woman in the stomach.
Brian Bodo, 23, is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 5 felony battery.
He’s accused of pushing a woman carrying his baby multiple times in the stomach during an argument last week at a La Porte residence in the 300 block of W. 13th St.
Later that evening, the woman was confronted by Bodo when she showed up to a home in the 400 block of Rose St. to collect her belongings. According to court documents, he would not let her inside then shoved her again in the stomach area hard enough to almost knock her down the steps.
The woman told police she felt some pain in her stomach area but intended to go to the hospital later to make sure there was nothing wrong with her unborn child.
Bodo could face anywhere from a one to six year sentence.
