A Bartlesville woman who was presented with a misdemeanor larceny charge at the Washington County Courthouse on Thursday returned to court on Friday for an assault with a dangerous weapon charge, a felony.

According to an affidavit, an officer made contact with the victim who said his live in girlfriend, Diana Fritchie, hit him in the forehead with a 2x4. The officer then observed a large, golf ball sized hematoma on the victim’s forehead.

The officer eventually made contact with Fritchie at a different address and placed her under arrest. As Fritchie was being arrested, she asked, “is he going to press charges?” She was then transported to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

Fritchie’s next court date is scheduled for Oct. 26 at 9 a.m. Her bond was set at $10,000.

According to an affidavit received on Thursday, Fritchie was caught on surveillance video stealing a chair from a porch and was arrested on a larceny charge.

The owner of the home claimed she had caught a woman stealing a chair from her front porch with footage from a video doorbell. This was the second instance of a chair being stolen from this residence. The victim emailed the video footage to a police officer who was able to identify the suspect as Fritchie using still images.

The officer made contact with Fritchie and noticed she was still wearing the same clothes she was seen in on the surveillance video. When questioned about the incident Fritchie became nervous and said that she knew nothing about the chairs being taken.

The officer said Fritchie was seen on video taking the chairs and she admitted that it was her on the video.

Bond for Fritchie was set Thursday at $250. That was her eighth misdemeanor charge in the last year before the recent felony charge presented to her on Friday.
