STILLWATER, OK — A 34-year-old woman, Morgan Nicole Barron, has been arrested in Stillwater on $25,000 bond, facing multiple charges after a series of dangerous incidents that involved hitting a sheriff’s deputy with her vehicle, running a roadblock, and making threats to kill a relative.
Barron is set to appear in court on April 6, where she faces up to 13 and a half years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Details of the Incident
The series of events unfolded on March 16, when Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Brooke Guyot responded to a call for help involving Barron.
The incident began with Barron’s relative, who had called the sheriff’s office to report that Barron had been acting erratically.
The relative described Barron as “schizophrenic and bi-polar” and detailed a series of alarming behaviors, including being kicked out of an Airbnb for displaying “satanic” items and accusing the relative of stealing her DNA and mixing it with bovine DNA.
According to the affidavit, Barron had also threatened her relative, saying she was on her way to kill her with her own two hands.
Barron allegedly called the relative and told her they were going to have a “conversation about the truth” and that they would have “organized general combat” before killing her.
Attempt to Elude and Collision with Deputy
At around 10:04 a.m., Barron arrived at a relative’s home in a Jeep and attempted to speak to Deputy Rose. When instructed to stop, Barron instead reversed the vehicle, striking Deputy Rose’s upper left arm with the driver-side mirror before fleeing the scene.
Barron then drove west on Highway 51, reaching speeds of approximately 84 mph, and ran through a roadblock at Highway 51 & Fairgrounds Road.
Final Arrest
Barron was eventually stopped in the 4000 block of E. 6th Street after a short chase, where she was ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint. Both Deputies Guyot and Rose restrained Barron and placed her under arrest for the assault on an officer and threats to kill.
During the transport to jail, Barron reportedly expressed frustration over being unable to retrieve her passport and birth certificate and stated that missing a court summons was the reason for her actions.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Barron faces four counts: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempting to elude an officer, criminal threat to kill, and assault on a law enforcement officer. If convicted on all charges, she could be sentenced to 13 and a half years in prison.
