A Stayton teenager is facing felony charges after allegedly threatening a man with a knife during a domestic dispute in December.
Eida Santiago-Ambrosio, 19, was charged Dec. 18, 2023, in Marion County Circuit Court with unlawful use of a weapon and menacing for an incident Dec. 17, 2023.
She allegedly threatened a man with a knife, placing the alleged victim in fear of serious physical injury. A third charge of coercion was later added after prosecutors learned Santiago-Ambrosio allegedly refused to let the victim leave a bedroom under threat of harm.
Santiago-Ambrosio was due back in court Dec. 29, 2023, to be arraigned on all three charges. She faces up to five years in prison on the highest counts.
Santiago-Ambrosio was released from the Marion County Jail after posting 10 percent of $15,000 bail.
While the case is pending she may not have contact with the alleged victim.
