Prosecutors have decided not to pursue charges for now against Pamela Haas, the 63-year-old Chandler woman who sliced her husband’s arm with a two-foot-long sword.

Both Pamela and her husband, Louis, agree that she took the sword from a wall mounting on November 13 and cut him with it, leaving a one-inch-deep gouge.

But Pamela Haas told police that the stabbing had been preceded by a fight in which her husband attacked her in their computer room, punching her in the head and stomach.

 

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000

Cops found red marks on the woman’s stomach and blood in the computer room, even though Louis Haas had claimed the incident had occurred in the bedroom. Still, they arrested Pamela, booked her into the county jail for a few hours and confiscated the wicked-looking weapon.

Maybe they should stay away from the Renaissance Festival this year.
