Woman sentenced for threatening people with gun - East Idaho News

preview

AMMON — An Ammon woman who pointed a gun at a man and a teen was in a lengthy standoff with police received a reduced charge Oct. 27. Stacy Dawn Quillen, 37, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and threat to do violence, and District Judge Dane H. Watkins sentenced the woman to 97 days in jail. However, 90 days were suspended, and with two days of the time already served, Quillen was going to have to serve five days in jail. COVID-19 restrictions in the jail altered the sentence because the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office will not take inmates on such short stints. According to court documents, Quillen will have her movements restricted with an ankle monitor to serve her sentence. Watkins also placed Quillen on three months of probation and gave her a withheld judgment, meaning if she successful on probation, the conviction could be removed from her record. Quillen was initially charged with felony aggravated assault, but the charge was reduced to the misdemeanor as part of a plea agreement. In July, sheriff’s deputies arrived at Quillen’s apartment after a man called 911 saying she pointed a gun at him and his teenage brother. The man was in a relationship with Quillen and reportedly had been out drinking with her. With Quillen refusing to come out of the apartment, the SWAT team arrived, and for nearly seven hours, she stayed inside. As SWAT developed a plan to get her out, Quillen came to the front door and surrendered. In written statements to police, the man and teenager said they did not want to be considered victims or press charges. In addition to Quillen being intoxicated, the man says she was also taking a new medication, which may have influenced her actions. Quillen served several years in the U.S. Army, he said, and her behavior during the incident was abnormal. Quillen will also have to pay $557.50 in fees, according to court records.
