(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict was charged Friday with placing a knife against a woman’s throat, pushing a loaded sawed-off shotgun into her chin and throat, punching an 8-year-old boy on the side, being a felon in possession of a gun, having the gun in the commission of a felony, and possessing marijuana along with drug paraphernalia, all in Cushing.
Former Cushing resident Alec Wayne Harper, 27, of Shawnee, who remains in the Payne County Jail on $75,000 bail, was scheduled to be arraigned on the six-count charge this afternoon.
If convicted of the six-count Payne County charge alleged to have occurred on June 22 in Cushing, Harper could be sentenced to three life prison terms plus 21 years and given $11,000 in fines, court records show.
Harper had been released from state prison in October 2010 after serving about half of two concurrent three-year prison terms for assault and battery with force likely to produce death in Cushing in 2005 and second-degree burglary in rural Cushing in 2005 — after his original three-year probationary sentences were revoked in 2009.
In 2009 when he was sentenced in those 2005 cases, Harper was given a concurrent three-year prison term for being a felon in possession of a firearm and also having marijuana, both in 2009, court records show.
