A 40-year-old Vernon woman has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of aggravated battery in Marion County Court in connection with the stabbing of her estranged husband and his friend.
Heidi Wynn of North Beech admitted to stabbing her estranged husband Brian Thompson and his friend David Worley of Centralia while they were sitting in a pickup truck in the driveway of Thompson’s home in April of this year.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Thompson was stabbed seven to ten times and Worley a single time in the abdomen with a long fish filet knife. The incident was first reported to Centralia Police when the two men showed up at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia for treatment of injuries. Both were later airlifted to a St. Louis Hospital for treatment.
Wynn was later arrested by sheriff’s deputies who picked her up after she allegedly threatened to jump off the Boone Street overpass on I-57.
After getting out of prison, Wynn will have to complete one year of parole.
She will be given day for day credit for time already served.
