An Idaho chiropractor is facing multiple charges after he allegedly pulled a woman out of her vehicle by force and later struck two of his children across the face, according to the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office.
Brady Fielding, 39, has been booked twice this year — once for domestic battery and once on two counts of injury to a child — following two separate incidents in April and June, court records show.
Incident One: The SUV Confrontation
On April 12, deputies were called to a home in Idaho Falls after a woman reported that Fielding had tried to seize her white Chevrolet Suburban while she and her five children were preparing to leave for a birthday party. According to the sheriff’s report, Fielding claimed he urgently needed the vehicle to transport a kitchen table.
When the woman refused to hand over the keys, Fielding allegedly attempted to grab her purse, phone and keys directly. She pushed him back, deputies said, prompting him to turn his attention to a young girl seated in the front passenger seat and try to take her phone as well.
Officers say Fielding eventually got the keys from the woman, left in a separate vehicle, then returned shortly after — this time pulling the woman out of the Suburban by her upper arm, leaving a visible red mark. He then climbed into the driver’s seat and began reversing with the doors still open as the children scrambled to get out, according to the report. All five kids escaped the moving vehicle before Fielding drove off.
The woman told investigators the relationship had a history of financial control and manipulation, though she said this was the first time it turned physical. Several of the children corroborated her account, with one telling deputies Fielding repeatedly called the woman a “psycho” during the outburst.
A warrant was issued on April 27, and Fielding was arrested, booked and released the same day.
Incident Two: “Due to Their Continued Disrespect”
When questioned about the April incident, Fielding reportedly told officers his children had been disrespectful toward him and his girlfriend, and that he had only meant to discuss household rules — but that things “escalated.”
That escalation, according to a second set of court documents, came to a head on June 20 at around 10:40 p.m., when Idaho Falls police responded to another disturbance call at a residence. Officers say Fielding slapped a 12-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl across the face, later claiming he acted “due to their continued disrespect” and insisting he hadn’t hit them hard enough to leave marks — saying his goal was only to get their attention.
The teenage girl also told officers Fielding shoved her during the confrontation, causing her to fall onto a bed.
Fielding was cited and released following the June incident and was formally charged afterward.
What’s Next
Court records show Fielding is scheduled to appear before a judge on July 22 for the April case, and again on August 19 for the June incident.
