Woman arrested after forcing husband's mouth apart

A woman in Crestview, Florida, who said her husband was cheating on her was arrested after she allegedly jumped on his back and forced his mouth apart with her fingers. On Aug. 30 two Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies were called to a residence about a disturbance.

Once there they interviewed a husband and wife, the apparent source of the disturbance. The man said he'd been involved in an argument with his wife over a text message. He came at about 8:30 that night and the argument continued, with his wife following him around the house, yelling in his face.



While in the bedroom, she allegedly jumped on his back and put her arm around his neck. He removed her arm, but then she grabbed him from behind and placed her fingers in his mouth, pulling his mouth apart, the arrest report indicated. This was said to have caused a small cut in his mouth.

The woman told deputies she had found out her husband was cheating on her and she'd told him not to come home. As they argued, somehow her fingers "ended up in his mouth," the deputy wrote. The woman was charged with misdemeanor battery. Her court date is Sept. 18.
