Chapman

A woman accused of stabbing a man in La Pine has been indicted by grand jury and is scheduled to enter a plea Oct. 15.

Heather Chapman, 26, of La Pine, was arrested Sept. 13 after witnesses reported she had stabbed Victor Evangelista, 52, of La Pine, on the 51300 block of Riverland Avenue in La Pine, according to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

Chapman has been charged with attempted murder, assault and unlawful use of a weapon. She remains in county custody after she was booked Sept. 13 on $360,000 bail. Deschutes County Circuit Judge Beth Bagley lowered bail to $250,000 in a hearing Sept. 15. Bagley also ruled in that hearing that Chapman was forbidden from drinking alcohol or going to bars if she was released.

Evangelista suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of the stabbing. After receiving treatment on the scene from the La Pine Fire Department, Evangelista was airlifted to St. Charles Bend, where he was treated and released, according to the Sheriff’s office.

Meanwhile, a petition for a restraining order against Chapman was both filed and denied Monday, according to court records.
