The shooting occurred at a home in the 5500 block of Dearth Road in Clearcreek Township on Jan. 1, 2025, the release states.
Prosecutors alleged Clendenin became aware that her husband and boyfriend were at the same party together soon after they both found out "about the relationship each had with Clendenin,” per the release.
Clendenin allegedly attempted to convince her husband to leave the party and when she wasn’t successful, she returned with a .40 caliber handgun, prosecutors said.
She allegedly fired eight shots — hitting a 29-year-old male who was sitting on the porch of the home in the abdomen, according to the release.

“Clendenin may have started 2025 as a free person but will spend the rest of 2026 and at a minimum the decade thereafter incarcerated for attempting to murder at least one of her romantic interests — albeit striking and almost killing an innocent victim," he said.
She has yet to be sentenced, per the Daily News.
