An Eau Claire woman is looking at a deal in a burglary case where she bashed an elderly man in the head. Megan Dehate entered her guilty plea recently.
She was originally facing armed burglary and abuse of an elder person charges, but she pleaded that down to burglary and physical abuse of an elder person instead. Investigators say Dehate was high on something when she broke into a elderly couple’s home. They say she smashed the husband in the head with a 20 pound piece of metal, but he was able to wrestle her to the ground.
Dehate is due to be sentenced in August.
