FARGO -- A woman accused of stabbing and beating her husband for snoring is a former school principal and lecturer.DeAnn Miller-Boschert, 45, said Friday in court that her husband was drunk during the incident and that the two were getting a divorce. She pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor simple assault, and her bail was set at $3,000, with 10 percent cash.
Miller-Boschert was the principal at Cavalier High School but was forced to resign during the 2000-01 school year, said Janet Welk, executive director of the state's Education Standards and Practices Board.
The action stemmed from altering a student election, Welk said, but she did not know other details because of a confidentiality agreement between the principal and the School Board.
Miller-Boschert and her husband, Kevin Boschert, told police they have a history of domestic abuse. The two have been married for 18 years, Boschert told police.
In the latest incident, Kevin Boschert called police about 4 a.m. Thursday from a convenience store and said his wife attacked him for snoring. He said she poured cold water on him, stabbed him with a pen and hit him with a 3-pound fitness weight.
On May 31, court documents say, Kevin Boschert pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and spent four days in jail for a dispute in which his wife told police she was punched in the face. Kevin Boschert said she bit him on the hand, the court file says.
Miller-Boschert said in court Friday that she is unemployed but had most recently spent four years as a lecturer at North Dakota State University. The university Web site lists her as a member of the School of Education with a focus in family and consumer sciences.
A university spokesman said she ended her employment there in May.
