A woman who pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter of her live-in boyfriend was sentenced Monday in Tehama County Superior Court.Susan Amelia Childs, 50, was sentenced to 451 days in Tehama County Jail and granted formal probation. Childs, who had been in custody since her arrest following the February 2010 incident, will be credited for the time already served. She will be on probation for 36 months following release from jail, according to court records.
She and her live-in boyfriend, Larry Arnel, were arguing inside their home on Plum Creek Road, in Paynes Creek, when she grabbed a 10-inch butcher knife and stabbed him in his lower abdomen, according to the District Attorney's office. Tehama County Sheriff's Deputies found Childs hiding in the brush a short distance from the residence. Officers were unable to revive Arnel, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
