A Jefferson City man was indicted by the Cole County grand jury on charges of assaulting the mother of his child with a knife in April.
James Ahhee, 43, was charged with second-degree domestic assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.
By indicting him, the grand jury found there was enough evidence to move Ahhee's case on to the circuit court level, where he could face a possible trial.
The incident occurred in the 6900 block of Meadowbrook Drive.
A Cole County Sheriff's Department probable cause statement shows Ahhee got into a verbal argument with the female that lasted several hours.
The argument eventually turned into a physical fight where Ahhee told the woman he would kill her.
Ahhee grabbed the woman and the couple's 5-year-old child around their throats, then got a knife and cut the woman on her right calf and right foot. She required multiple stitches to close the wounds.
While interviewing the juvenile, the child said she were scared of Ahhee and had been told to keep what had happened a secret.
