BOUNTIFUL — A Bountiful woman has pleaded guilty to reduced charges in her boyfriend's 2012 stabbing death.
Shannon Sander, 46, pleaded guilty April 30 to a reduced charge of manslaughter, a second-degree felony, in the death of Michael Dunn, 52. Sander was originally charged with murder, a first-degree felony.
Police said Sander was at Dunn's Bountiful home, 2520 S. 500 West, on Feb. 21, 2012. The couple had been drinking and arguing throughout the day. Around 11 p.m., Sander allegedly took a kitchen knife and stabbed Dunn in the chest. Police said Sander then went to a neighbor's home and told him enough to prompt him to call 911.
Dunn was found unresponsive and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
Officials had been called to the apartment to deal with Dunn and Sander both individually and collectively in the past, mainly on nuisance-type complaints.
Sander will be sentenced July 2.
