Mercer County man faces charges after domestic incident

An investigation has brought charges against a Mercer County man for dismembering or displacing a dead body. Police responded to a home on Ball Street in Princeton on May 23 about a destruction of property report. A victim there said her ex-boyfriend, identified as 36-year-old Daniel Lee Agnew, had thrown her clothing and electronis into her yard and destroyed them. The victim later told the officer of an earlier miscarriage she had where the body was preserved after in a permanently sealed container. She said Agnew also threw the container holding the remains and run over it with an ATV. Agnew was arrested during the investigation and court dates are pending.
