GILLETTE (WNE) — A 47-year-old man was arrested for attempted second-degree murder after allegedly cutting his girlfriend’s throat with a box cutter Thursday evening at a home in Rozet.
Undersheriff Quentin Reynolds said Edward Rusher and his girlfriend, 52, were arguing about their relationship Thursday, but there were no other details in the deputy’s report about what spurred the argument.
Rusher cut the 52-year-old’s throat and right elbow with the box cutter, and deputies were called at 6:57 p.m. By the time deputies arrived at the home, Rusher had fled in his car.
EMS took the woman to the Campbell County Health emergency room, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Reynolds said.
Deputies called the Gillette Police Department to assist with finding Rusher. Police officers found Rusher in his parked Buick at the Dogwood Apartments at 7:20 p.m., where deputies arrived and took over, said Police Deputy Chief Brent Wasson.
Rusher was taken into custody without incident.
