Nisswa Mayor Jennifer Carnahan Claims She Was Assaulted by Woman

On Nov. 28, Nisswa Mayor Jennifer Carnahan said she was confronted and pushed outside Ye Old Pickle Factory during the City of Lights event, but the city's prosecutor declined to charge Sophie Foster with assault, according to a Dec. 2 memo from Severson Porter Law.
After a reported restaurant exchange, Sophie Foster, 27, Main Street Ale House employee, emailed Jennifer Carnahan, Nisswa mayor, seeking an apology over unprofessional comments she overheard.
Police files show Jennifer Carnahan reported Sophie Foster used her forearm to push, while Foster said they only touched or bumped arms and was not aggressive, according to officers who documented statements.
On Dec. 5, Nisswa police confirmed the case was reopened after an additional witness was identified, and the Nisswa city council scheduled a special meeting, 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, at city hall to discuss Mayor Carnahan's conduct.
Both parties have used social media and local coverage to share their versions, with Jennifer Carnahan focusing on serving Nisswa and Sophie Foster saying she 'did her part' defending someone falsely talked about.
