Montgomery Mom Who Stabbed, Tried to Poison Daughters Gets 4 Years in Prison

49-year-old Montgomery resident Pamela Christensen has been sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of trying to poison and stab her three daughters.

Christensen has been locked up for two years and could be released by the end of September, according to WSPY News. She was found guilty on two counts of aggravated battery and use of a weapon and one count of aggravated unlawful restraint.

In 2014, police responded to the 2300 block of Patron Lane after two 911 hang-up calls. Police said Christensen allegedly tried to poison and injure all three daughters, and two of the daughters were stabbed. The three daughters were taken to Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, where they were treated and released, police said.

In January 2016, Christensen was charged with attempted escape and resisting a peace officer after she slipped out of her handcuffs at the Kendall County Courthouse and tried to flee. She tried to run toward an exit but was stopped by court security deputies. She received time served for that charge, according to WSPY.
