Man, wife argue over ‘texting’ relationship

When confronted, the husband became irate and slammed a bedroom door causing damage to the door and frame. The wife advised this occurred in the presence of her three children.

The woman said her husband has never been physically abusive, but does drink a lot and appears to suffer from depression.

When the officer advised that warrants would be taken out against the husband, the woman began crying and said she did not realize her husband would be arrested. She asked the officer if she could withdraw her complaint. The officer explained he was bound by law to take action in matters of domestic violence.
