Criminal History
In 2015, Jensen was convicted of domestic assault and disorderly conduct after physically attacking his foster stepfather. Jensen’s wife was present for the assault and had visible injuries to her face, but she did not cooperate with police and Jensen reported that he had a lot to drink and could not recall whether he had hit his wife. Based on underlying police reports from Jensen’s criminal history records, Jensen has engaged in a pattern of threatening behavior, beginning with the 2015 assault, and continuing with an uncharged physical assault in 2018, uncharged cyber harassment in 2019, and most recently, an August 2022 fight with an inmate at the United States Penitentiary,
Lewisburg, for which he was sanctioned.
