(Stillwater, Okla.) – A father has been given a three-year prison term for hitting his ex-girlfriend in the head while their children, ages 2 and 3, were present in Stillwater — the day after he received a suspended sentence in Pawnee County for choking the same woman there two years earlier.
Wesley Jonothan Roy II, 30, of Oklahoma City, was sentenced last week in Payne County in accordance with a plea bargain with the prosecution that was approved by District Judge Phillip Corley, who also ordered Roy to pay $100 to the victims’ compensation fund and a $200 fine.
Stillwater Police Officer Christopher Hummel had been sent to the victim’s home on S. Husband Street at 9:41 a.m. on April 11 regarding a domestic assault and battery investigation, according to his affidavit.
The victim said that while her ex-boyfriend was at her residence between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. on April 11, she believed he was drunk and asked him to leave so she could go to sleep, the affidavit said.
“Instead of leaving, Wesley began to verbally argue with (the victim) about a criminal case that he was involved in in Pawnee County,” where the previous day his deferred sentence for strangling her had been changed to a three-year suspended sentence for violating his probation, court records show.
She said that she was sitting on her bed, with her two children sleeping beside her, at her Stillwater home when “Wesley blind-sided her,” by hitting her in the head with an unknown object, the affidavit said.
She said she “began to bleed profusely from a puncture wound on her head, approximately one-half of an inch above her left eye,” the affidavit said.
The Stillwater officer saw blood spatter on a wall near the head of the bed and pooled blood on the floor next to the bed, as well as on the bed sheet, according to his affidavit.
The woman “showed me the T-shirt that she had been wearing when she was struck,” that had dried blood covering a large portion of the front, the officer wrote in his affidavit.
After she was struck by Roy, “her two children woke up and saw her covered in her own blood,” the affidavit said.
She said she again told Roy to leave her home, but he refused, the affidavit said.
She said “she eventually fell asleep with the intention of going to the emergency room in the morning,” and did not know when he left, the affidavit said.
She said “she did not call the police immediately after Wesley (Roy) had hit her because she was scared of him. She said that he had threatened her and threatened to kill himself,” the affidavit said.
When a LifeNet ambulance employee arrived to look at her, she was told “she would need a few stitches to close the puncture wound above her eye,” but she refused to be transported to the hospital and said she would get a ride from her sister, the affidavit said.
According to Pawnee County court records, Roy had pleaded guilty there to domestic assault and battery by strangulation of her in 2016, for which he was originally given a three-year deferred sentence with an order to take a 52-week batterers’ intervention course – that was changed on April 10 of this year to a three-year suspended sentence, which the prosecution is now seeking to revoke.
