A Florida man got placed on the police department's naughty list after hitting his wife with a Christmas tree -- because she asked him to help her make that evening's dinner.
Richard Atchison and the victim got into a loud verbal dispute in their kitchen, which turned physical after she threw a spoon into the sink, accidentally splashing him with water. According to police reports, the 52-year-old suspect started packing his things and walked towards the door, but then turned around and told his wife to leave "because he'd been drinking."
She agreed to do that. But when she got to the door, Atchison threw a small Christmas tree in her direction, striking her in the arm and torso. She managed to call 911 and summon cops, who arrested him and booked him into the Lake County Jail without incident. (WFLA)
