911 CALL: ‘I just killed him,’ woman won’t face charges after deadly shooting
AUGLAIZE COUNTY — A St. Marys woman will not face charges after she said she shot and killed her husband earlier this month in self-defense.
“My husband’s been beating me. I just killed him,” Stephanie Sweigart told 911 dispatchers. “He was beating me. He was going to kill me. He had a knife.”
Stephanie Sweigart’s husband Wesley Sweigart was found dead inside the house in the 200 block of Pershing Drive Feb. 8.
Stephanie Sweigart was taken into custody following the shooting. A grand jury declined to indict her for the shooting, the prosecutor’s office said.
She told dispatchers she was assaulted in the living room of the house and her husband told her to go back to the bedroom, according to the call.
“He told me that if I didn’t go…he was going to hurt me. He was going to stab me,” Stephanie Sweigart told dispatchers.

Two pair today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, with none in the wind. While it’s generous for an attacker to lend his firearm, one shouldn’t count on his largess and have one’s own at hand.

“You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’…..”
Nothin’ sez lovin’ like havin’ to defend yourself from your knife stabbin’ hubby.
I guess Jamal won’t have to worry about working on his car in the apartment parking lot now.
talk about a stupid thing to die over…geebus, man, just move the car!
On the upside, its not his problem anymore, on the other hand, now someone else has to clean up his mess.
smh
Unusual restraint on the part of the security guard. Gets punched repeatedly, guy goes and gets a gun and jacks a round in before being shot? Most folks would have shot him as soon as he came out with the gun.
I have an old Dymo label maker that looks
just like that FN.
Does it make 5.56x45mm labels?
*grin*
Damn ‘beans I was just thinking the same thing. It’s not eggsxactly a fugly gun perse, you know, kinda like Ms Thang in a dark bar at 0200hrs. Your friends may be looking at you kinda strange when they see you with it, but secretly, they want some too. Wonder if it comes with a shoulder rig for concealed carry?
Two pair is still a winning hand, ‘specially when you have 2 dirtbags out of the gene pool forever, and 2 more that will be guests at the gray bar motel for awhile. Might want to get Claw to crank up the Whiz Wheel for home boy and Ms Hoodrat Thang in the Iowa story.
Ms. Sweigart, glad you’re ok.
The Whiz Wheel®™ spins and:
Jamal (Screw You, I ain’t moving my car) (DRT) = 75
Iowa Home Boy with four names (DAM) = 192
Ms. HoodRat Thang Ny’Jaya (DAM) = 164
No bullpup fans here? They have their pros and cons, like most things firearm. Compact but still with a legal barrel length is obvious, but the ones I’ve, ahh, I’ve been told that the triggers really suck, doubtless due to the long linkage. Maybe FN fixed that.
