Report: Sleepy husband attacked for turning off radio
PORT CHARLOTTE — After a local man asked his wife to turn down a radio late at night so he could go to bed, the woman became so angry she attacked him and then swung at a deputy who was responding to the scene, according to a Charlotte County Sheriff’s report.
June Marie Austin, 56, of Forrest Nelson Boulevard, was arrested early Thursday on charges of battery by strangulation, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence — three felonies — for the incident that began after midnight Wednesday.
