(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater woman with a history of violent crimes has been released from jail on $5,000 bail and ordered to have no contact with her male partner, who reportedly told Stillwater police “he was going to stay at a safe place from now on,” court records show.
Due to her extensive criminal record, Amy May Lakawitz, 37, who got out of prison five months ago, could be sentenced to four years to life if convicted of domestic assault and battery as a subsequent offense, a felony on which she is due to appear in court on May 19.
Lakawitz, who has been known by the surname of Ferraro, was also accused of resisting arrest by Stillwater Police Officers Daryle Gee and Josh Rudluff, a misdemeanor count carrying up to one year in jail on conviction.
Stillwater police had been sent at 6 pm on March 16 to the 2000 block of S. Main regarding Lakawitz’s partner, who said “he was beat up in the area of 12th and Husband,” according to Gee’s affidavit.
He said he had been living with Lakawitz, for a month and intimate with her for the past two weeks, the affidavit said. He said, “within the past five days, Lakawitz had been getting very abusive by hitting on him. He said Lakawitz has been drinking a lot and when she gets drunk, she physically starts in on him and accuses him of cheating and he can do nothing right,” the affidavit alleged.
He said, “Lakawitz told him if he left her, then she would hurt him, and if he stayed, she would hurt him. (He) stated he tried to leave today, and she got physical with him by hitting him. He said she was all over him, and he finally pushed her away and left the house.
“He stated he was hit by a car a couple of days ago, and Lakawitz had someone do it. I saw (he) had old injuries and fresh injuries. He had fresh scratch marks on his back, a bloody and bruised left eye, a busted lip, and fresh abrasions on his left foot. I saw an abrasion on his left chest and a bite mark on his left abdomen,” that he said “happened the other day just before they were going to have sex but then she became abusive,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
When Lakawitz was located at her residence at 9:30 pm that night, the officer did not see any physical marks on Lakawitz, who said her male partner wanted to commit suicide, “was messed up in the head and always lying,” the affidavit alleged “Lakawitz said they got into an argument earlier, but that was all. Lakawitz stated (he) had lived there with her off and on for the past four months. She stated they had been intimate off and on for the past two months,” the affidavit alleged.
After being told she was under arrest, Lakawitz pulled away from Officer Gee, would not let go of the door, and resisted after Officer Rudluff assisted, but finally she was put in hand restraints, Gee alleged in his affidavit.
According to the state Department of Corrections and court records, Lakawitz had been released from prison last October to 11 years’ probation after serving 10 months in a regimented training program for car theft and a hit and run injury accident in Stillwater in 2020.
In 2013, Lakawitz had been given two concurrent 15-year prison terms for domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in 2012 and second-degree burglary in 2013, at that court appearance, her 20-year probation for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in 2011 and 15-year probation for manufacturing methamphetamine in 2009 were revoked. She served about six years of those concurrent prison sentences from Payne County.
Lakawitz also served eight months of a two-year prison term for possessing a drug with intent to distribute in Chickasha in Grady County in 2005, DOC records show.
