Woman in Jail after Kicking, Threatening Husband

Just before 8 p.m. Monday, Hannah Padovano and her husband argued about her cell phone ringing at their home at 9229 Via Segovia, east of incorporated New Port Richey.

Her husband told a Pasco County Sheriff's deputy that he tried to put the purse that contained his wife’s cell phone outside, according to an arrest affidavit.

Padovano confronted him and kicked him with her right foot in the outside of his left knee, the husband told the deputy. He told the deputy she pulled a meat cleaver from the kitchen and threatened to stab him with it. Then she threatened to burn him with boiling water, the husband said.

The deputy did not notice any injuries or marks on the husband.

Padovano told the deputy she kicked her husband because she wanted her purse back but did not pull a knife or threaten to burn him with water.

Padovano was arrested, booked in to the Land O' Lakes Jail and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery.
