A woman was arrested early Wednesday after injuring her husband in an argument that turned violent, Tulsa police said.
Lacey Maxwell called 911 around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and told dispatchers she ran over her husband outside their home, police said. Firefighters performed life-saving measures on the husband and he was taken to the hospital, where he was rushed into surgery for non-disclosed injuries, according to police.
Officers have not given an update on the husband’s condition.
“After investigating, officers learned Maxwell and her husband have a history of domestic violence, with Maxwell typically being the aggressor,” Tulsa police said in a news release.
Witnesses also told officers that the woman has previously threatened her husband’s life, police said.
Maxwell was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Jail records show she was booked into the Tulsa County jail at 4:11 a.m. and is being held on a $500,000 surety bond.
She is due in court Monday.
