Per Bustle, Tobey Mitchell soon found himself embroiled in his own legal troubles shortly following the arrest and conviction of his mother, Joyce, in 2015. As the media outlet noted in 2018, Tobey, then 22-years old, made headlines — albeit largely local ones — for charges of first-degree aggravated domestic assault against his wife, Paige. In Cinemaholic's summary of the incident, the counts against Tobey for his attack against Paige, which included attempted strangulation, could have resulted in a 15-year prison sentence.
However, after pleading "not guilty," the charges against the son of Joyce Mitchell were eventually dismissed due to "signs of growth" attributed to completing "necessary counseling," per the blog. Per Cinemaholic, prosecuting attorney Susan Hardin remarked at the time that the decision to dismiss "was a fair resolution for all concerned, weighing the victim's situation and weighing his situation."
Since his 2015 court appearance, Bustle reported that Tobey has led a fairly quiet life in upstate New York, in the same general vicinity as to where the prison break that made his mother a household name initially took place.
