A Fort Hood soldier’s relationship status on the social networking website Facebook has led to her indictment on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Mercedes Stasha Linder, 19, is accused of assaulting her live-in boyfriend after he discovered through her Facebook profile that she was married and corresponding with another man in New York, according to an arrest report.
A grand jury indicted Linder Wednesday.
Linder’s boyfriend reportedly confronted her about the profile and attempted to gather his things to move out Oct. 8.
Linder got aggressive and refused to let the man leave their apartment in the 1800 block of North College Street in Killeen, the report states.
The man told officers Linder attempted to strike him in the head with a frying pan, but the boyfriend ducked and ran out of the apartment.
When he returned for his belongings, Linder grabbed the frying pan again as well as a Taser and threatened him.
The man left the residence and called 911. While he was on the phone with a dispatcher, Linder threatened to pour bleach on the man’s clothes, the report states.
When he tried to stop her, Linder grabbed a knife, chased the man and attempted to stab him, the report states.
When Linder realized she could not catch the man, she began to cut up a pair of his shoes with the knife, the report states.
Assistant Bell County District Attorney Murff Bledsoe said Linder also chased the man with a car.
Linder denied assaulting her boyfriend, but did state she had used the Taser to keep the man outside of her apartment, the report states.
The boyfriend told police that similar incidents had happened with Linder in the past, but he had never reported them.
