(Stillwater, Okla.) — An Oklahoma City woman with a history of domestic violence, who admitted stabbing her ex-boyfriend in the chest with a kitchen knife at a Stillwater apartment complex where he was staying, has been given a five-year prison term for the attack in Payne County.
Victoria Tanika Scott, 33, was sentenced last week by Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler, who ordered her Payne County prison term to run concurrently to a five-year prison term she was recently given in Oklahoma County for another attack.
Her ex-boyfriend said “he has been in an off and on relationship for 10 years with Victoria and this was the fourth time she has stabbed him,” Stillwater Police Sgt. Paul Priegel wrote in an affidavit.
He “suffered a gaping stab wound to his upper left chest, requiring hospital treatment,” the affidavit said.
He “advised the blade of the knife had struck a bone in his chest or it would have penetrated his chest cavity near his heart,” the affidavit said.
The Stillwater police sergeant, who was dispatched to an apartment complex on North Perkins Road about noon on Aug. 15, 2013, was told by the victim “his ex-girlfriend Victoria Scott had stabbed him,” the affidavit said.
“Victoria had reportedly fled the scene in a Chevrolet Malibu prior to our arrival and was possibly enroute to Oklahoma City,” the affidavit said.
She was arrested about two weeks later in Oklahoma City and jailed on $100,000 bail in Payne County, court records show.
The victim “was bleeding profusely from his left upper chest and eventually transported by LifeNet ambulance to the Stillwater Medical Center emergency room,” the affidavit said.
The Stillwater police sergeant found a broken kitchen knife with a bloody serrated stainless blade measuring about five and one-half inches long in the bathroom, the affidavit said.
The victim later told the officer “Victoria often carries knives with her and brought this particular knife with her today,” the affidavit said.
He said “this was the knife used to stab him,” the affidavit said.
A pool of blood was in the hallway where he said “Victoria stabbed him after the two got into a verbal argument,” the affidavit said.
At the time of the Stillwater stabbing in 2013, Scott was already on probation for assault and battery with a deadly weapon the previous year in Oklahoma County, which was revoked to a five-year prison term in March, court records show.
When she admitted that attack in 2012, Scott was originally placed on 10 years’ probation except for 78 days in the Oklahoma County Jail, court records show.
Her probation in Oklahoma County was conditioned on her having no contact with the victim, taking a 52-week domestic violence class along with anger management classes, and undergoing a mental health assessment as well as follow-up, court records show.
