LACONIA, N.H. (AP) - A Vermont man is facing charges in New Hampshire that he beat a woman in a cabin they were sharing.
Police said 42-year-old Shawn Meiklejohn of White River Junction, Vt., was extradited recently to Laconia, N.H.
The Laconia Daily Sun reports police arrived at the cabin earlier this month to a call about a domestic argument. The woman appeared to be beaten and bruised, but didn't talk to police.
Police said she later sought medical attention and spoke with a victims advocate.
Meiklejohn has been charged with criminal threatening and second-degree assault. It wasn't immediately known if he had a lawyer.
