Authorities say a deputy shot and wounded a man who was trying to stab a woman in northeast Oklahoma.

 

     The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says a Washington County deputy shot 47-year-old Corey Wesley Peoples on Thursday in a pasture near Vera.

 

     Peoples was taken to a hospital in stable condition. The deputy's name hasn't been released.

 

     The OSBI says the deputy was assisting a bondsman who was seeking Peoples for jumping bail. 

 

     The agency says Peoples put a knife to the throat of a woman who was with him and the woman dropped to the ground. The OSBI says the deputy then shot Peoples when he raised the knife to stab the woman.
