(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Tulsa woman, who previously lived in Payne County, was charged today with felony assault and battery on an emergency medical technician in Yale on Wednesday, along with misdemeanor counts of public intoxication and resisting arrest.
Natasha Danielle Jane Coffman, 33, who has also been known by the surname of Owens, previously lived in Yale, Ripley, and Perkins, court records show.
Coffman was already on probation for attacking a Payne County sheriff’s deputy in Ripley in 2017 while she was intoxicated, court records show.
Coffman remains in the Payne County Jail pending her arraignment this afternoon on the three-count charge.
Coffman, under the surname of Owens, pleaded guilty in 2017 to hitting Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Hopper while she was intoxicated in Ripley, court records show.
In 2017 Coffman was given a six-month jail term followed by four and one-half years of probation, with an order to have mental health and substance abuse evaluations, perform any recommended follow-up, and undergo random drug tests, court records show.
Five years earlier, Coffman, under the surname of Owens, pleaded guilty to possessing methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia in Stillwater in 2011, for which she was initially given a 60-day jail term followed by two years and 10 months of probation under a deferred sentence.
But two years and eight months later, Coffman was found in violation of her probation, given a five-year suspended sentence, and admitted into a residential substance abuse treatment facility, which takes a minimum of six months — that she left three months later without permission, court records show.
After Coffman was arrested five days later in Idabel, she was admitted into another substance abuse facility from which she said she graduated nine months later, court records show.
However, the following year after Coffman was sentenced for assault and battery on a sheriff’s deputy, she was found in violation of her probation and given a concurrent six-month jail term in 2017, court records show.
