A veteran New Richmond police officer on paid administrative leave has been charged in St. Croix County Court with three misdemeanors related to a domestic incident.

Anthony G. Milliron, 52, of rural New Richmond is charged with battery, disorderly conduct and contact after a domestic abuse arrest. His initial court date is Tuesday.

According to court records:

Susan Milliron, 50, told police she and Anthony Milliron, her husband, had been having marital problems and met July 10 at a park-and-ride near Roberts. She was in his truck when he became “enraged” when she accused him of another relationship.

Susan Milliron said Anthony Milliron hit her up to eight times in the head and arms and screamed loudly before she was able to get out of her car and notify police. An officer saw Anthony Milliron block her vehicle in Roberts and then leave the scene.

Anthony Milliron said he grabbed but did not strike his wife.

He was booked into jail and ordered not to have contact with her or her residence for three days, but Anthony Milliron was reached by telephone at that residence by New Richmond police the next day and was arrested at that residence.
