Wednesday, June 17, 2009
LAGRANGE, N.Y. — Authorities say a 50-year-old Hudson Valley man has been charged with attempted murder after he stabbed his wife and teenage daughter with an ice pick.
The Dutchess County Sheriff's Office says Kerry Peck stabbed his wife and 16-year-old daughter in the neck at 1 a.m. Tuesday inside their home in the town of LaGrange, near Poughkeepsie.
Officials say the injuries weren't life-threatening.
Peck fled the scene and later crashed into a vehicle in New Windsor in neighboring Orange County. Two people in the other vehicle were injured.
Police later found Peck in a vehicle on a front lawn. Officers used a stun gun after he refused to drop the ice pick.
He's being held in Orange County Jail on $25,000 bail.
It couldn't be immediately determined if Peck had a lawyer.

Oklahoma man pleads guilty to the beating death of his ex-wife

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - An Oklahoma man admits to beating his former wife to death in a Lubbock motel. Arthur Swagger, 38, pleaded guilty Friday morning. He also pleaded guilty to injuring his son during that assault.
Arthur Swagger, his ex-wife Joy, and their two children came to Lubbock for work last June. They stayed here at the Motel 6. During their stay, a 911 call came in from Arthur asking for an ambulance. "June 1st, 2008, an altercation happened, a domestic type of situation and 911 was called the early hours of June 2nd, 2008. Then she passed away six days after that," said Tray Payne with the Lubbock County District Attorney's Office.
On Friday, Arthur Swagger pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 42 years in prison. "This is a very difficult case, it had ties to Oklahoma, a lot of family in Oklahoma," said Swagger.
Arthur, Joy, and their two children traveled to Lubbock from Oklahoma and were staying at the Motel 6 on the corner of 66th and I-27. After the altercation, Swagger was also charged with injury to a child, because of his son's condition.
"He had a blackened eye - a darkened eye - so we filed a 3rd degree felony, which was 2-10 years in prison on that charge alone and he plead guilty to 5 years on that," said Payne.
Payne says the two children are now in the custody in of the state. "They are in foster care here in West Texas, to my knowledge they are not going to go back to Oklahoma. No family have been able to take them in, so you have a really sad situation where you got two kids who have know lost their mom and their dad," said Payne.
It's a case Payne says has a sad ending for the children who are now 8 and 5, but that justice was served. "I just felt like this is an appropriate sentence, he's almost 40 years old and we feel like this will be a life sentence for him which is what he deserves in this case," said Payne.
Payne says Swagger didn't have anything to say in the courthouse Friday morning, nor was there any family from either side.

Dad stabs pregnant ex-girlfriend to death (Fayetteville, Arkansas)
RICKY RAY ANDERSON is awaiting trial in the stabbing death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend. The girlfriend had a restraining order against Anderson, and he had broken into her apartment before. The police failed to notify her when they released him from jail. The girlfriend called the police when she saw Anderson in the parking lot with a knife, but the police apparently failed to arrive in time. For once we have a perceptive, not a clueless, neighbor quoted: "he [Anderson] was really, really angry because she didn't want anything to do with him, you know, and she was pregnant with his child and it was kind of like, 'oh, if I can't have our child then neither can you." Got that right, girlfriend.

Neighbors Raise Questions as Murder Investigation Continues
Mary Marsh Reporter
9:38 PM CDT, June 28, 2009
Friends of a Fayetteville woman stabbed to death in her apartment Friday night say there's more to the story than what authorities are reporting.
A suspect is in custody and awaiting trial for his alleged connection to the death of 26-year-old Jill Lynn Ulmer.Ulmer's neighbors at the Rasberry Apartment Complex in Fayetteville say they saw their friend for the last time around 7:00 Friday night. Kindra Mavis is Ulmer's neighbor and friend, and says, that night, "she seemed like she was in a really good mood. She was pregnant, so she was kinda not feeling very well, you know, but she seemed like everything was fine." But Mavis says everything wasn't fine; she says Ulmer feared her ex-boyfriend, Ricky Ray Anderson. "For sure, yeah, he was the dad. And even though they had broken up, she was happy with that." Ulmer may have been "happy," but Mavis says she still had a restraining order against 41-year-old Anderson. "She just said, if you see him or anybody come over here who's associated with him, you call the cops, so she was scared of him." After Anderson broke into her apartment once, friends say Ulmer had some peace knowing he was in jail. Mavis says, "Washington County should have contacted her and said 'hey, this guy's out of jail and he may hurt you.' So that's what's upsetting the most to me; she wasn't notified."
Reports show Ulmer called police around 10:30 Friday night. They say she said her ex-boyfriend was violating a protection order and was in the parking lot, walking towards her apartment. When police arrived on the scene, they say they heard Ulmer screaming, and say they saw Anderson in her apartment, armed with a knife and making stabbing motions towards her. Mavis says, "he was really, really angry because she didn't want anything to do with him, you know, and she was pregnant with his child and it was kind of like, 'oh, if I can't have our child then neither can you. Her mother has to deal with this every single day of her life, and not only one loss! Two!" Ulmer's neighbors say as Ulmer's death sinks in, moving on mentally, will be impossible. Sarah Sparkman is Ulmer's downstairs neighbor: "you hear somebody murdered and you're living in that place, I mean, you're going to remember that. It stays with you." At this time police have not confirmed or denied Ulmer's neighbor's story of how and why they believe this crime occurred. Reports state detectives are viewing this as a "death investigation," and they're sending Ulmer's body to the State Crime Lab for further research. Anderson is being held in the Washington County Detention Center, without bond, on charges of second degree murder. His first court appearance is set for July 27th.
