BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A man whom authorities say was assaulted by North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler was accused of assaulting her in a Florida hotel room last summer.
Court documents indicate Baesler didn't cooperate with authorities in the Florida case against Todd Tschosik, and prosecutors dropped the case.
Baesler was arrested Sunday on a preliminary assault charge after an incident at Tschosik's Bismarck home. She said in a statement that an argument with her fiance escalated to the point where she was concerned about her safety, and it wasn't the first time she had felt at risk.
A spokesman for Baesler said she wouldn't comment on the Florida incident.
Court documents indicate he told Florida police he was set up by Baesler.
