Woman charged in assault with antenna
An Enid woman was charged with two felony counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for striking her husband and another woman with a broken car antenna, the charge alleges.
Cynthia A. Unruh, 42, was charged Monday in Garfield County District Court with the two felony counts, as a well as a misdemeanor count of breaking and entering. Each count of assault and battery carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
Garfield County Sheriff’s Department deputies were called to a Perry Acres home about 11:14 p.m. Friday after Cynthia Unruh arrived at house where Michael Unruh was visiting another woman, who was house sitting.
When deputies arrived, the glass of the back door had been broken and a truck, registered to Cynthia Unruh, was blocking another vehicle in the rear of the home, according to an affidavit.
Deputies spoke with the woman Michael Unruh had been visiting and she showed deputies marks where she’d been hit with something she couldn’t identify. The woman had red marks on her neck and bruises on her ear, and one of the earrings she was wearing had been bent in the attack, according to the affidavit.
After searching the home, deputies found Cynthia hiding behind a door, according to the affidavit. She told deputies the other woman had lunged at her and hit her in the face.
Deputies noted in the affidavit that Unruh had no visible injuries.
Michael Unruh also had injuries that were consistent with being whipped and had a puncture wound to his upper left arm, the affidavit states.
Cynthia and Michael Unruh both were booked into the Garfield County Detention Facility but the district attorney’s office declined to file charges against Michael Unruh.
Special District Judge J. Bruce Harvey set Cynthia Unruh’s bond at $1,500 and ordered her to appear Sept. 27 for a bond appearance.
Unruh’s female victim sought and received an emergency protective order from Cynthia Unruh Monday.
