An Ohio woman has been arrested after she allegedly broke into her ex-husband’s home while he was sleeping and shot a gun two times.
Amanda Heller was taken into custody at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio after she was accused of breaking into her ex-husband’s home on April 26.
Heller, 31, allegedly entered the victim’s home while he was sleeping, according to a criminal complaint filed in Bryan Municipal Court and was viewed by Law & Crime. After she entered the home, she allegedly threatened to kill her ex-husband and “fired two rounds of a handgun while in the home.”
While the victim’s name has not been publicly revealed, WTOL reported that the homeowner had been identified as Heller’s ex-husband.
The criminal complaint stated that Heller fired a gun in the man’s home two times. However, there were no injuries mentioned and it appears that no one else was home at the time of the shooting.
Nearly one month after she broke into the home and opened fire, Heller was taken into custody on May 21. She was initially charged with felonious assault, but was indicted for attempted aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, domestic violence and improperly discharging a weapon at or into a habitation or school after her case was bound over to the Williams County Court of Common Pleas.
Her bond has since been set at $100,000, according to online records viewed by Us Weekly. She is still in custody as of time of publication.
If Heller is able to post bond and is released from custody, she will not be allowed to make any contact with her ex-husband.
Heller is next scheduled to appear in court on June 22 regarding her charges.
No additional details have been revealed about Heller’s relationship with the victim, including how long they were together, when they were divorced and if she had a motive for breaking into his home.
