Husband calls police after men call wife 'fat'

Fort Worth police were called after a woman says she was called fat by men handing out flyers to a health club. The incident happened in a residential area, near Heritage Trace Parkway, as the woman walked down the street with her new baby.

The woman is so upset she didn't want to speak on camera, but did say while walking with her baby, on Tuesday, she was approached by two men with flyers promoting Fitness 2000's summer slim down program.

According to the police report, the woman said the men yelled at her to stop. When she simply waved and kept on going, one of the men began following her.



The report says the man told her she "was fat" and "had a fat stomach" and "ate too many donuts".

After being followed and called fat, the woman reportedly became so upset that she called her husband and he called the non-emergency police line.

So was calling the police extreme? Fort Worth police say the man who did the name calling did not commit a crime; because the woman wasn't followed home, injured, and foul language wasn't used.
