A Marion County man has been arrested after allegedly holding a knife to the throat of his wife, tying her with rope and raping her in front of their minor son. Being held on a quarter million dollar bond in the Marion County Jail is 26-year-old Eric Franklin Poslick, whose address is listed as Muskogee, Okla. The incident happened at a mobile home the couple was living in on a county road near Flippin.
According to the arrest affidavit in the case, the events started Friday morning when Poslick became upset because his wife put two tea bags in his cup instead of one. His wife said Poslick called her names and took her phone away. The wife said she was going to run away to get help but as she did, Poslick ran after her and threw her on the ground. As she got up, Poslick allegedly pushed her back down on the ground while yelling he was going to kill both her and her son.
The woman said her juvenile son was screaming and crying when Poslick told him to get away, calling him several names.
Poslick then allegedly tied the woman’s arms behind her back, sat on her back and lifted her head by her hair and put a large kitchen knife to her throat while continuing to call her names. Poslick then allegedly told his wife he was going to “bury her on his grandmother’s property and no one would know.”
The victim said at that time their juvenile son grabbed a pocket knife and tried to fight his dad but was pushed away.
Poslick then allegedly tore off his wife’s clothes, dragged her by the hair and ropes into the woods about 5 feet from their mobile home. Poslick then allegedly raped his wife while telling his son “this is what you do to stupid (people) who (tick) you off.”
The woman told authorities her son ran into the house at this point and Poslick allegedly raped her a second time. She said her husband told her if she took their child he would kill both of them and “no one would ever take his son.”
Poslick is charged with felony counts of rape, aggravated assault on a family/household member and false imprisonment in the first degree, along with a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree.
