A Wisconsin woman tried to kill her father while she was hallucinating he was the living embodiment of the devil, Badger State police say.

Jamie Anderson, 34, stands accused of one count of attempted intentional homicide in the first degree by use of a dangerous weapon. The charge includes a domestic abuse assessment – which might be considered essentially akin to a minor sentencing enhancement.

The incident occurred on July 1, at the father’s home on South Page Street in Stoughton – a small town located roughly 20 miles southeast of Madison, according to the Stoughton Police Department.

During the early morning hours, Anderson allegedly walked some 16 miles from her Madison apartment to her father’s residence.

Then came the ring at the doorbell.

When the defendant’s father finally awoke and answered the door, Anderson first said she wanted to stop hallucinating, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Madison-based CBS and MyNetworkTV affiliate WISC and ABC affiliate WKOW.

Next, Anderson is said to have asked her father for a hug. In response, however, her father said he asked her if she was on drugs.

That question allegedly prompted Anderson to try and stab her father in the head, according to the complaint. Multiple stabbing attempts allegedly ensued, and some of those efforts drew blood, police say.

“I’m going to kill you,” the defendant allegedly repeated.

The two then fought as the scuffle continued inside.

The woman’s father told responding officers he eventually had to push his daughter over a coffee table so he could escape to safety.

At around 6 a.m., officers found the man on his front stoop with blood on his left arm, according to the complaint.

“She actually came here to kill me,” the man explained to police.

Anderson’s father said his daughter was still somewhere inside the house, police say. The defendant was discovered walking down a stairway on the side of the house into an alleyway, knife in hand. When asked to drop the orange-colored blade, the defendant immediately complied and was arrested without incident, police say.

Anderson allegedly told police she hallucinates and thought her father was the “devil.” She then allegedly went on to admit to cutting or slashing him roughly four times. The defendant allegedly further admitted her plan was to kill him because she wanted him dead.

The woman’s father suffered serious injuries from the attack – resulting in staples in his head and surgery on one arm. In comments to police, he allegedly struck a somewhat conciliatory tone, saying the incident was “not her” and that her “mind is cooked” due to drug use.

Anderson first appeared in court on July 25, where her bond was set at $500,000 – with a no-contact order regarding her father in the event she makes bail, court records show. She has been appointed a public defender and is next slated to appear in court on Aug. 5.

The defendant is detained in the Dane County Jail as of this writing.
