According to a sheriff’s report, the deputy responded to 32-year-old Heather R. Crossen’s home for a welfare check after an acquaintance of Crossen’s reported she sent him a text message that concerned him during the early evening Nov. 26.
According to a complaint that the sheriff’s office filed in Portage County Municipal Court in Ravenna, while the deputy was at the home, Crossen allegedly tried to grab a knife from a butcher’s block to attack him with it. No injuries were reported and Crossen was arrested and taken to Portage County Jail.
Crossen pleaded guilty Feb. 18 to third-degree felony attempted assault and first-degree misdemeanor child endangerment involving a 2-year-old girl in the home, according to court records. The felony charge was amended down from first-degree felony assault as part of a plea deal.
