One thing I am certain of in life, busting out the hose on my wife would not be a good thing. Barring police involvement at some point i’d have to sleep.
JENSEN BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities said a man has been charged with domestic battery after he drenched his wife with a garden hose and elbowed her for smoking in the house. An arrest report shows that the 51-year-old husband was charged Saturday. Police said the couple began arguing when the wife began smoking a cigarette in their home.
When the victim picked up the phone and began calling a friend, authorities said the husband believed she was trying to call police and elbowed her in the mouth during a struggle to grab the phone.
The woman was soaked with water when deputies arrived. The husband told deputies he had been watering the grass and did not intend to spray her.
The man was taken to the Martin County Jail and released after posting bond.
