A Bowling Green woman charged in two cases involving her estranged husband pleaded guilty Monday, accepting an offer to have her cases diverted.

Selena Drexel, 46, pleaded guilty in Warren Circuit Court to a count of first-degree criminal mischief and a count of first-degree criminal trespassing.

Drexel was placed on pretrial diversion for five years, and the criminal trespassing case was conditionally discharged for two years.

“I’m relieved for an opportunity to move forward in a positive direction,” Drexel said in an email to the Daily News. “Details from historical and more recent cases involving my family, which would bring clarity to any public misperception, have not been made public for honorable reasons. Forgoing these details is a worthwhile sacrifice in everyone’s best interest.

“Humbly and gratefully, I accept responsibility this disposition reflects, and I’m eager to make amends to those I’m accountable. This community has been a true blessing to our family through this difficult time, and I remain thankful to so many people for their dedication to the well-being of my daughters.”

The guilty plea resolves a set of legal travails that began in 2015, when a domestic dispute culminated in Drexel shooting her estranged husband, Dr. Todd Drexel, at their house on Fordes Crossing Road.

Selena Drexel contacted Kentucky State Police on Aug. 15, 2015, and reported that she had shot her husband in self-defense moments earlier, according to court records. She was not charged with a crime in relation to the shooting.

The first set of criminal charges arose when Selena Drexel struck two vehicles as she was turning from Fairview Avenue onto U.S. 31-W By-Pass to take the wounded Todd Drexel to a hospital.

KSP troopers were traveling to the Drexel home when they were notified of the collision, court records said.

Selena Drexel was arrested on two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and a count of first-degree criminal mischief, all felonies. The wanton endangerment charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

A Warren County grand jury indicted Todd Drexel last year on a felony count of second-degree assault in relation to the domestic dispute.

He pleaded guilty in May to a misdemeanor count of second-degree wanton endangerment and has resumed his medical practice.

Selena Drexel was arrested Feb. 16 in a second criminal case in which she was charged with first-degree stalking, theft by unlawful taking of property valued at less than $500 and alcohol intoxication.

Attorney Brad Coffman, who along with attorney Keith Wilcutt represented Drexel, said in court that Selena Drexel had gone to her estranged husband’s house in violation of a court order forbidding any contact.

City police alleged that she threatened the lives of Todd Drexel and their children and remained on Todd Drexel’s property for hours before her arrest, but Coffman said Monday that she “had no nefarious purpose” and did not intend to harm anyone.

The felony stalking charge was amended down to a misdemeanor, and the theft and alcohol intoxication counts were dismissed.

Between the two criminal cases, Selena Drexel spent nearly four months in jail and underwent a psychiatric evaluation at the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center to determine her competency to stand trial.
