On '''November 6th, 2017''', a date which will forever live in infamy, [[Elisabeth Shimer]], paralyzed and in a wheelchair, was suddenly and deliberately struck by a then 18-year-old [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]]. Due to this altercation, the authorities were called, which resulted in [[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson's]] first ever [[Daniel and the Law|arrest]]. Afterward, Daniel was soon placed under police custody, and after court, he was charged with 3rd degree assault and was sentenced to 44–45 days in jail for assaulting his mother, just 9 days before his 19th birthday.   

In an interview conducted on July 8, 2021, Daniel elaborated on his arrest on November 6th, 2017.  

Daniel claims that his time with his [[Elisabeth Shimer|par]][[Travis Larson|ents]] was a "traumatizing experience", elaborating on his statement by stating his parents "hit him with belts for 15 years", and claiming his father made him smoke cigars as a child. This is most likely not true, given Travis and Elisabeth's splitting in 2010 due to his father wanting absolutely nothing to do with Daniel. It's even more unlikely for his mother to have hit him with a belt or do any type of substantial damage, given that she was in a wheelchair, and physically incapable of hitting him with belts. Even more, Daniel was taken away by the state of Colorado for being neglected due to her physical disability, making it hard for her to care for him.  

However, Daniel used his anger from these tenuous claims of abuse as a justification for pushing his mother, which happened after a situation which was supposedly aggravated by Daniel's (keep in mind, wheelchair-bound) mother cornering him. After this, the authorities ended up being called, and 3rd degree assault charges were promptly pressed on Daniel. However, it's called into question if the only thing Daniel did was shove Elisabeth, as his charges say otherwise. According to his criminal record<ref>[[:File:DanielCriminalRecord2017.png|File:DanielCriminalRecord2017.png]]</ref> along claims from Elisabeth,<ref>[[:File:ElisabethShimerPapaGut(1).png|File:ElisabethShimerPapaGut(1).png]]</ref> Daniel did not only shove her, but also struck his wheelchair-bound mother.  

3rd degree assault is defined as, '''''"when someone inflicts physical injury – a bodily impairment or substantial pain – on another person. The injury can be intentionally inflicted, but it can also result from recklessness or criminal negligence."'''''<ref>[https://crimlawny.com/assault/assault-in-the-third-degree/#:~:text=Assault%20in%20the%20third%20degree%20is%20the%20lowest%20tier%20of,from%20recklessness%20or%20criminal%20negligence. https://crimlawny.com/assault/assault-in-the-third-degree/#:~:text=Assault%20in%20the%20third%20degree%20is%20the%20lowest%20tier%20of,from%20recklessness%20or%20criminal%20negligence.]</ref> meaning that if the authorities were called, it means that Elisabeth had endured so much physical abuse from Daniel that she had injuries, justifying his sentencing. Despite this, Daniel adamantly claimed that his mother "she deserved that one thing, for what she did."
