P. v. Raisor CA3
Defendant Richard Dean Raisor and F. R. were married and had children together. In February 2017, defendant was at F. R.’s residence visiting their children. Defendant tried to choke F. R. with his hands. As she began to blackout, their daughter opened the door and told defendant to stop. Defendant walked outside and F. R. locked the door and armed herself with a steak knife. A few minutes later, defendant pounded on the door, demanding entry. When F. R. did not open the door, defendant kicked it open; he followed F. R. to the bedroom and tried to strangle her with a shoelace. F. R. stabbed him in the hand, and defendant left.
Defendant was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, petty theft, vandalism under $400, and cruelty to a child.
