Casper police arrested a woman Friday who allegedly threw a knife at her husband and waved a gun at him during an argument.
The man reported to police Friday night that Amanda Capshaw had been drinking and was threatening him, according to her arrest affidavit. In a later interview with police, the man said that the two had been arguing. He said that Capshaw first started "trashing the kitchen" by throwing dishes and silverware on the floor.
Capshaw then retrieved a handgun from a closet and started waving it around, according to the affidavit. The man said the gun was always loaded. The man said he tried to take the gun from Capshaw and she pointed the gun at him as he attempted to disarm her. After he took the gun from her, he said that Capshaw threw a kitchen knife at him and that it hit him.
When officers arrived at the home on Lincoln Avenue, they found Capshaw on the porch yelling for her dog. She refused to speak with officers and listen to their requests that she calm down.
Officers then attempted to handcuff Capshaw, which she resisted by scratching one of the officer's hands with her nails, the affidavit states. After she was handcuffed, she sat on her lawn and refused to speak to officers other than to threaten that she was going to sue all of them.
The man had scratches on his arm, a small cut near his wrist — potentially from the knife — and red marks on his face and chest where he had been hit, the affidavit states.
Police drove Capshaw to the Natrona County Detention Center, where she was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault and battery, a felony. Capshaw was set to face formal charges Monday afternoon in Natrona County Circuit Court.
