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, is charged with one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide using a dangerous weapon. The charge includes a domestic abuse assessment, which may be viewed as essentially similar to a minor sentencing enhancement.

The incident unfolded on July 1 at her father’s residence on South Page Street in Stoughton, a small town situated about 20 miles southeast of Madison, per 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.

Upon the defendant’s father’s awakening and opening the door, Anderson initially expressed a desire to cease hallucinating, according to a criminal complaint sourced 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.

This inquiry reportedly led Anderson to attempt to stab her father in the head, as alleged in the complaint. Multiple stabbing attempts allegedly followed, with some causing injury, according to police.

“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.

Police say Anderson’s father indicated his daughter was still present in the house. Officers found Anderson descending a side stairway into an alley, holding the knife. When instructed to drop the orange-colored weapon, she complied immediately and was taken into custody without resistance, according to police.

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.
