(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Perkins man was charged today with stalking his estranged wife in Stillwater on Sunday and threatening to kill her and then himself.
An arrest warrant was issued today for Brandon Dean Munier, 28, who was not in the Payne County Jail this afternoon, a spokesman said.
His estranged wife, who said she is in the middle of a divorce from Munier, said that he has been harassing her since he was released from jail in October after serving one year for domestic assault and battery on a pregnant woman and threats to kill, Stillwater Police Officer John Stanbery alleged in an affidavit.
“She said the crimes were committed on or about Oct. 9, 2013, and she was the victim on the case, along with another female,” the affidavit said.
She said that on Sunday at about 2 a.m., she arrived at her residence after being out with friends and “Brandon knocked on her door continuously for approximately two hours before he left the area,” the affidavit alleged.
She said that on Sunday at about 11 a.m., when she and a man left her residence, “Brandon was sitting in his red Chevy Tahoe in the parking lot,” the affidavit alleged.
She said “as she was leaving the parking lot, Brandon drove across the grass and attempted to hit her vehicle with his Tahoe and block them from leaving,” the affidavit alleged.
She said her male friend got out of her vehicle and left the parking lot in his vehicle, the affidavit said.
Her friend said “Brandon followed him all the way to Ripley,” the affidavit alleged.
She said that she returned to her residence when her estranged husband left the area, the affidavit said.
She said that on Sunday at about 11:30 a.m., she again left her residence in her vehicle and saw her estranged husband following her in his red Chevy Tahoe, the affidavit said.
She said “while she was being followed, she received a text from Brandon’s phone stating he wasn’t going to stop until one of them was dead,” the affidavit alleged.
She said that he continued to follow her around Stillwater for about 45 minutes, the affidavit alleged.
She said that she contacted a male friend and asked him to follow her home for her safety, the affidavit alleged.
She said “when she arrived home, she was walking to her apartment when Brandon ran from the breezeway toward her,” the affidavit alleged.
She said she fled back to her vehicle where her male friend was parked next to her, the affidavit alleged.
“She said Brandon opened the male friend’s door, yelled that he was going to ‘f… him up,’” the affidavit alleged.
“The male friend got out of his vehicle and Brandon hit him one time and left the area in his Chevy Tahoe,” the affidavit alleged.
She said she saw her estranged husband drive by her residence several more times so she left her residence, the affidavit alleged.
“She said Brandon followed her for several more hours until she came to the Stillwater Police Department to file a report,” the affidavit alleged.
On Sunday at 7 p.m., the officer learned from Officer Aaron Low that she was again in contact with Stillwater police “in reference to Brandon Munier attempting to purchase a gun to kill,” her, the affidavit alleged.
She told the officer that her cousin had received text messages from her estranged husband’s phone number stating:
“I need a pistol u know were I cant find one. I am done dude (5:24 p.m)
“I am killing her and me (5:25 p.m.),” the affidavit alleged.
If convicted of stalking his estranged wife and threatening to kill her, Munier could be incarcerated for five and one-half years, court records show.
