Man accused of assaulting woman, threatening her with glass shard

Butler city police say a man assaulted his wife during an early-morning domestic incident on Sunday at a home along Center Avenue.

Skyler Matthew Huskins, 30, was charged Monday with one felony count of aggravated assault, one misdemeanor count each of terroristic threats and endangering another person and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault in connection with the dispute.

Officers were dispatched to 612 Center Avenue at about 2:51 a.m. for a 911 call in which a woman could be heard screaming “please stop,” followed by heavy breathing and whimpering, the affidavit states.

According to police, officers arrived, they knocked on the back door and heard a female voice say, “go away,” before a neighbor with a key let them inside.

Police said they found the victim crying with blood on her leggings and swelling beginning to show under her left eye. She told officers she believed the blood came from her head. An ambulance was requested for evaluation.

Police said Huskins was not present when officers cleared the residence. Inside a bedroom, officers observed a shattered mirror and shards of glass on the floor.

The victim later told officers the assault occurred earlier that night after she and Huskins went to Sheetz and picked up alcohol. She said that when they returned home, he choked her and punched her on the couch and that she had fresh scrapes on her back, according to police. She told police Huskins chased her upstairs, broke her mirror and dragged her out from under a bed.

According to the affidavit, the victim then said Huskins grabbed a shard of glass and threatened to slit her throat and that she cried and begged, “Skyler please don’t.”

Police said the woman further reported that earlier in the day, Huskins told her he was going to stab her with a knife and that she was “going to die today,” the affidavit states.

Officers said they documented her injuries and the damage inside the home.

A preliminary hearing for Huskins has not been scheduled.
