SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah, April 7, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — A Salt Lake County woman was arrested for aggravated assault after she allegedly stabbed a man she thought was beating her husband in a fistfight.

A probable cause statement from the 3rd District Court of Salt Lake County said Morgaine Leigh Huey, 21, is facing one count of the second-degree felony.

The altercation took place near 2200 S. Highland Drive Monday evening.

“The A/P (accused person) observed her husband get into a fist fight with the victim,” the statement said. “The A/P stated her husband was getting hurt and appeared to be losing the fight. A witness stated she observed the A/P pull an object out and stab the victim causing him to fall to the ground.”

The victim was transported to the hospital and underwent surgery.

Huey denied pulling a knife or stabbing the victim, the statement said. She was transported to Salt Lake County Jail with her bail set at $10,000.

  1. The witness is lying rhe cameras will show she stayed by the gas stations window and never got close to the fight there are some serious holes in this so called witness’s story.why haven’t they cleared Morgan huey if they have video of the incident? There are two witness’s that can testified she stood by her man’s back pack .I contacted the speedway night clerk and asked him if he provided video of the incident to the detectives he was evasive and had no clear answers. This is a 21 year old college educated woman with mo record of violence, has never even been to a jail before. Busted her ass as a homeless Pearson that moved 850 miles to Utah just to find work ,start a new life and build a family .in two weeks she landed a 15 doller an hour job and has an apartment lined up. All she has done , all the horable things she’s had to endure her accomplishments are all about to be undone because someone’s lies
