Probation for Oakdale Woman Who Cut Husband’s Neck With Bread Knife

An Oakdale woman has been sentenced to two years of probation following her conviction for domestic abuse stemming from a March 9 incident in which she cut her husband’s neck with a bread knife.

Alexis Lou Johnson, 38, must also complete a domestic abuse program and remain law abiding under the conditions of her release.

Officers were dispatched to a 12th Street apartment building at about 2:45 a.m. March 9 after her fiance called police.

Both parties told police they had gotten into an argument after he returned home from a bar, according to the complaint. She, too, had been to the bar earlier, and police noticed a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.

The man also had injuries to his hands, the complaint says, and the knife was found on a kitchen counter. He also told police she pushed him and at no time did he retaliate. During the argument she grabbed the knife from a vase next to the stove and cut his neck, drawing blood, according to the complaint.

He then left the apartment and called police.
