A 32-year-old Sulphur Springs man was accused Friday of smashing a golf club and a pumpkin against the vehicle his wife was in during a domestic disturbance.
Sulphur Springs Police Officers Zach Davis and Steven Lail responded around 6:45 p.m. Dec. 16 in the 1000 block of South Davis Street to a complaint of an active domestic disturbance. The female resident was reported to be locked in her vehicle but her husband was alleged to have just broken out the window; the woman was reported to be bleeding. While police were responding, dispatchers received additional information that the husband had returned inside the home, where a 4-year-old child was located.
When officers arrived, they attempted to contact the male resident. The front door was opened by the 4-year-old, however, not the adult male. The child was passed to the mother, then officers entered the residence. The male resident was detained in handcuffs shortly thereafter. He was placed into a patrol vehicle as police continued investigating the incident, police noted in arrest reports.

Although the Sulphur Springs man did not directly assault his wife, she was placed in fear of serious bodily injury.
