(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Yale man accused of repeatedly stabbing his former step-mother, threatening to kill her, and hitting her son in the head with a baseball bat has been ordered to appear in trial court Friday for arraignment on a three-count charge.
Charles David Hilton McClain II, 35, remains in the Payne County Jail on $30,000 bail on domestic violence charges punishable by as much as 11 years’ incarceration on conviction.
McClain was arrested shortly after 9 p.m. on March 4 when he returned to his residence — where his former step-mother was then living, according to an affidavit by Yale Police Officer Ken Moore.
McClain’s former step-mother “had two deep wounds on her upper right arm, one deep wound on her inner right thigh and one deep wound on her right shin,” when the officer arrived at the residence about 7:30 p.m., according to the affidavit.
Her son, who is McClain’s half-brother, “was bleeding from his forehead on the upper left side,” and had “various marks on his neck, chest, upper arms, and back,” the affidavit said.
McClain’s former step-mother was treated by emergency personnel from Yale and Cushing before being transferred by ambulance to Hillcrest Hospital in Cushing, the affidavit said.
She said that McClain and his father had fled from the residence, the affidavit alleged.
She said that after she was awakened by the defendant and her son arguing, she yelled at them to stop and went into the bathroom, the affidavit alleged.
“David McClain (the defendant) then kicked the door open, came in, and started yelling at her to get out of his dad’s house,” the affidavit alleged.
She said that after she pushed the door back shut, “McClain Jr. (the defendant) then came back into the bathroom from a second door,” the affidavit alleged.
She said that she now thinks “when David McClain Jr. was hitting her in the bathroom he was in fact stabbing her,” the affidavit alleged.
“There is a blood trail and blood on both bathroom doors that shows someone bleed from the bathroom down the hallway to the front room,” the affidavit said.
She said that when she went to the front room, she saw the defendant and her son arguing again, the affidavit alleged.
She said that her son was trying to get the defendant to leave her alone, the affidavit alleged.
She said that she saw the defendant hit her son in the head with a baseball bat, the affidavit alleged.
She said that “while she was being hit and stabbed, David McClain Jr. kept telling her he was going to kill her and end her time,” the affidavit alleged.
Her son said “he had seen David McClain Jr. attack his mother with a knife in his right hand and a baseball bat in his other hand,” the affidavit alleged.
Her son said that when he grabbed the defendant’s right hand that had a knife in it, the defendant hit him in the head with a bat, the affidavit alleged.
McClain’s former step-mother and her son both said that the defendant “took their phones because they were telling him they were going to call the police,” the affidavit alleged.
In another case two years ago, the defendant pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic assault and battery in Yale, for which he was placed on probation for one year under a deferred sentence, court records show.
