Knife-wielding Summerfield woman jailed after TV volume scuffle leads to battle with deputies

Christyna Louise Ondecker

A knife-wielding, deputy-punching Summerfield woman was arrested early Monday morning after an argument over a television’s volume resulted in a call for help.

A Marion County sheriff’s deputy was called to the Summerfield mobile home in the 3000 block of SE 142nd Lane at 1:20 a.m. after the dispute quickly escalated. A woman at the home told the deputy her roommate, 56-year-old Christyna Louise Ondecker, had gotten in an argument with another woman who was temporarily living in the mobile home. She said the other woman was in the living room with her young son when Ondecker came out of her bedroom and “began yelling about the television being too loud.” She said Ondecker then went back into her room, returned a short time later carrying a knife, walked over to the TV and “ripped the power cord out of the wall.”

The woman said she and her son were on an air mattress in the living room when Ondecker started yelling and using obscenities about the TV’s volume. She said Ondecker pulled the cord out of the wall and then approached her while holding a steak knife. The woman said she felt threatened for her and her child, so she used both hands to push Ondecker away from them, a sheriff’s office report states.

Ondecker admitted to coming out of her room with the knife but denied pulling the TV cord out of the electrical socket. She said she was upset because the TV was too loud and “she only brought the knife out with her because she was in the bedroom cutting steaks.” She also claimed the woman in the living room “threw her down the hallway.”

Ondecker was unable to produce any steaks for the deputy, who then located a large knife with no food residue on it under a blanket on her bed, the report says.

After Ondecker was taken into custody, she removed her colostomy bag and threw it on the ground. She was transported to a nearby emergency room, where she attempted to use her left hand to choke herself, the report says.

Ondecker then swung at one deputy and kicked and hit another one as they struggled to handcuff her to a hospital bed. She eventually was transported to the Marion County Jail without further incident, where she was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, as well as battery and simple assault on an officer. She was being held on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in a Marion County courtroom Sept. 11 at 9 a.m. to answer to the charges.
