A Weatherford woman sits in the Custer County Jail after allegedly chasing a number of family members around a Weatherford house and yard with a knife in her hand.
23-year-old Ashley Gene Warledo was arrested on three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Bond is set for $75-thousand dollars.
According to a probable cause affidavit, a Weatherford patrolman was dispatched to a home in the 600 block of North Bryan Street on a report of a woman, drunk, trying to fight everyone.
The court document says Warledo told police she’d recently returned from El Reno where she’d previously been in a fight, but the circumstances surrounding that fight weren’t explained. However, when Warledo arrived in Weatherford, for some reason, she was interested in trying to start a fight with and between her relatives, some juveniles.
The officer wrote in the report that witnesses said Warledo, who didn’t live at the home on North Bryan, slapped one of the relatives, a female, in the face approximately five times. Police observed red marks and swelling on the side of the victim’s face.
It’s believed that another relative, trying to calm Warledo, allegedly hit the defendant a couple of times in the face. Warledo was observed with a swollen face and a bleeding mouth.
Trying to escape, the victims ran from the house with Warledo in tow allegedly holding a white kitchen knife next to her head saying, “You better be glad I don’t stab you.”
When the officer arrived, he could hear screaming and yelling outside while he found the defendant in a back room of the house, slurring her words as she explained what had taken place.
Warledo is due in Custer County District Court next week for a preliminary hearing conference.
