Police Beat: Your Typical 'He Said, She Said' Story

The investigated a domestic incident involving a couple that would shortly be parting ways.

At 10:55 a.m. Sept. 14, a 42-year-old woman alleged that her estranged husband threw a coffee cup on the floor and tossed a potted plant out of the window. She claimed the 41-year-old man became angry after hearing she filed for divorce Sept. 8.

However, the husband had a different story. He claimed his wife was manipulative, and was conspiring to make him look bad before the divorce. The coffee pot and potted plant were just props intentionally broken so she could craft a made-up story to get him in trouble, he alleged.

The wife told police she would seek a restraining order. Both the man and woman were advised that there would be a future mandatory arrest if police received another domestic violence call.
