Prosecutors filed charges Wednesday accusing state Sen. Jason Priest of throwing his 4-year-old daughter, shoving his estranged wife and breaking her boyfriend’s rib and then struggling with an officer who intervened in the incident.

Priest, 45, faces a charge of felony assault on a minor and misdemeanor counts of partner or family member assault, assault and resisting arrest.

If convicted on the felony count, Priest could face up to five years prison.

Anna Priest stated in the documents that Jason Priest grabbed her by the arm and tried to push her down the steps and that she would have fallen had she not grabbed the banister.

Priest’s wife goes on to say that her daughter kept trying to come out of the house and get past Jason Priest and that he would push the child back inside.

Anna Priest stated that Jason Priest then grabbed her daughter like a “sack of potatoes” and threw her back into the house.

The girl and Priest’s other two children, ages 7 and 9, who were also at the house, are quoted in the charging documents stating that their father threw their youngest sister back into the house.

The alleged victim later told an investigator that “dad throwed (sic) me and a crash went on the floor,” the documents state.
