Small Town Misfit

Atlanta, GA
On Tumlin Street, a woman said her husband was angry because she wouldn’t let a neighbor use some cooking oil. She said her husband went to the neighbor’s house to give him the cooking oil and wash his clothes. (The neighbor is also the husband’s friend.) She said her husband returned around 30 minutes later and hugged her and said he would be a better man.

The woman said she was in bed, and her husband got under the covers and started pulling on her ankles. She said this hurt, so she told her husband to stop, but he wouldn’t. She said she grabbed his hand and squeezed to try to make him stop. She said he let go, walked to the door and threw his phone at her — and the phone hit her arm. She said she threw the phone back at him. She said her husband screamed, “Don’t break my phone!” She said her husband then broke her phone.

She said she put on her clothes and told her husband she was calling the police, and he just flipped out. She said he pushed her onto the bed, jumped on her and pushed her head. He told her she was dirty and no good, she said. She retorted by saying that her ex-husband loved her more. Then, she said, her husband spit on her. Eventually, she said, the husband left the house with a friend, and she called 911.
