Shareda Y. Bannister was sentenced to three years of probation in Toledo for aggravated assault. The legal penalty resolved a criminal case stemming from a violent confrontation earlier this year.
Bannister, 44, pleaded guilty to the aggravated assault charge on September 17. The judge handed down the probation sentence on September 30.
Prosecutors originally charged her with felonious assault. The incident happened on May 9 at 167 Austin in Toledo. The victim told a detective he argued with Bannister. He threw a pillow at her.
Bannister then allegedly grabbed a knife from her purse, court records state. She stabbed him in the left side. The wound caused a laceration. It required three stitches to close.
Lucas County criminal courts resolve felony cases through plea agreements or formal jury trials. Supervised probation requires defendants to follow court-ordered rules instead of serving prison time.
Officials arrested Bannister on May 9, according to records. Staff booked her into the Lucas County Corrections Center in Toledo.
