44-year-old Stephanie Cavanagh was charged with aggravated assault when a dispute about watching porn escalated and she broke their security camera, threw an ax, and fired a gun while threatening to tell police he assaulted her.
On August 30th, Lebanon Police Officer Downs responded to 1926 Roanoke Drive in reference to a dispute in progress. Officer Downs had already been to the residence earlier in the day regarding a dispute about the Thomas Cavanagh Jr. watching pornography. Through investigation, officers found that Thomas had gone upstairs to fix a damaged bedroom doorknob when his wife, Stephanie Cavanagh, became hostile and a confrontation began.
Thomas stated that he was trying to leave the residence but Stephanie grabbed a handgun and continued to follow him. She destroyed the security camera stating that he would not be able to prove he did not assault her. They both exited the house through the sunroom where Stephanie grabbed an ax and threw it on the ground and warned him that she would tell police he used it to threaten her. Stephanie fired the gun once Thomas was at the end of the driveway, not posing a threat to her.
Stephanie Cavanagh was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Her bond was set at $2,500.
