Physics department head Raymond Frey and his wife were already separated when the argument began on Sept. 26, 2014. But when it ended, she was under arrest.

Raymond Frey and Regina Claypool-Frey were arguing in the home they still owned together when she picked up a 10-inch knife and slashed him. According to the police report, he fled to his own house and wouldn’t let her in. It wasn’t until she threatened to harm their teenage child that Frey let her in.

Then she stabbed him in the chest. She was arrested two hours later and sentenced in January to 45 months in prison, according to The Register-Guard.

On Tuesday, Frey filed a $705,000 lawsuit against his imprisoned ex-wife. The lawsuit accuses his wife of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Frey’s lawyer told the Register-Guard that a settlement would work to offset the alimony Frey will probably be required to pay Claypool-Frey upon her release.
