(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing woman who was ordered Friday to stand trial on a felony charge of cutting her ex-husband in the hand has been charged with passing five forged checks at convenience stores in Cushing.
Felicia Rae Willis, 43, remains free on bail pending her arraignment in trial court March 18 on a felony charge of domestic assault and battery. She also is due to appear in court April 4 on five counts of second-degree forgery.
Willis was charged with knocking her husband unconscious with a pair of vice grips when the couple lived in Perkins in 2004. That count was dismissed when she pleaded guilty to escaping from Perkins Police Officer Steve Hensley and resisting him by getting out of his patrol car and running away.
In another domestic abuse charge, Willis waived her right to a preliminary hearing Friday on an accusation of cutting the same man, who is now her ex-husband, in the hand in Cushing in August.
Willis, who was convicted in 2004 of misdemeanor domestic abuse, served about a year in prison after her probationary sentence for passing forged checks in Perkins on a Carney man’s business account in 2003 was revoked in 2006, court records show.
In another forgery charge filed last week, she is accused of passing checks allegedly written on a Cushing woman’s bank account to two different convenience stores in Cushing for:
*$40 on Jan. 22,
*$46 on Jan. 22,
*$26 on Jan. 23,
*$25 on Jan. 24,
*$40 on Jan. 26.
