Skagit County man sentenced in machete attack

A Washington state man convicted in a machete attack on his estranged wife and another man was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

52-year-old Eric Woody was sentenced Monday in Skagit County after pleading guilty to first-degree attempted murder and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon.

According to court documents, Woody had forced his way into a Bay View home in March 2017, attacking Rhonda Polinder and Michael Rash.

Polinder’s left hand was nearly severed from her arm, and she had a cut from the top of her head to her jawline. Doctors later amputated a portion of her left arm.

Rash had severe cuts to his head and arm.
