Man Arrested After Attacking Wife with Coffee Cup in Eugene
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

EUGENE, OR — A 67-year-old woman was hospitalized Friday night after a violent attack in her home on River Road. Authorities say the assault was carried out by her husband, 59-year-old David Dwayne Vaale, who now faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, first-degree assault, strangulation, and unlawful use of a weapon.

The incident occurred just after 9 p.m. when the victim called 9-1-1 to report the attack. Emergency responders arrived at the scene and transported the woman to Riverbend Hospital for treatment. While her exact condition has not been released, her injuries are believed to be severe.

Vaale was taken into custody Saturday morning and booked into the Lane County Jail. According to court records, he is facing a Measure 11 assault charge, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of seven-and-a-half years if convicted.

The details surrounding the attack remain under investigation, but social media posts suggest that the victim and Vaale were married at the time of the incident. Police have not disclosed the specific circumstances leading to the attack, but they continue to work to gather more information.

The case has drawn attention due to the severity of the charges and the nature of the assault. First-degree assault, one of the charges Vaale faces, is considered a serious violent crime and carries significant legal consequences.

As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward.

This attack serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of domestic violence, and experts emphasize the importance of resources and support for individuals in abusive relationships.
