(Stillwater, Okla.) — Prosecutors dropped a domestic violence charge Tuesday against a Stillwater woman, who was accused of cutting her boyfriend on his arm four to five times with a kitchen knife, court records showed today.
Angela Ann Strader, 54, who has also been known by the surnames of Harmon and Shipman, had been charged with domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a felony punishable by as much as a 10-year prison term on conviction.
Her then-boyfriend of two years said they had been arguing, first at her apartment, then at his on April 13, 2021, according to an affidavit by Stillwater Police Officer Andrew Wilson.
“When Strader came to his apartment, she argued that (he) had another woman in his apartment, and he offered to let her go and look for such a person,” the affidavit alleged.
“After checking the apartment, Strader was able to get into the small kitchen area and retrieve a smaller knife from a butcher block. She used the knife to cut (her boyfriend) several times on the right forearm resulting in a fresh wound. The wound was still bleeding when I arrived on the scene,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
Strader was arrested at her apartment at 8:45 pm on April 13, 2021, the affidavit said.
