7:57 a.m. – Police arrested an East Greenwich man, 41, for domestic violence against his wife and daughter after the woman made a report to police at the station. The man’s wife told police her husband is an alcoholic and came home the night before heavily intoxicated. He began yelling at her about ice packs in the freezer for lunch before accusing his wife of being a “bad mother” to their daughter. The wife tried to defend herself but her husband kicked her desk chair forward and pinned her against the desk. Things calmed down but the next morning the husband was drunk again and again yelled at his wife. Their daughter tried to step in and break up a fight, but her father pushed her with such force her mother worried she would be hurt. The wife slapped her husband and her husband retaliated, striking her in the eye. She tried to reach a phone to call the police but her husband pinned her down and, according to her daughter, choked her. The woman was emotional speaking to police and grew more upset when police told her her husband would probably be arrested. The woman’s daughter then spoke up and said she was tired of living in fear, encouraging her mother to fill out a written statement. Police took the man, who appeared to be heavily intoxicated, into custody and charged him with domestic simple assault and battery, simple assault, domestic disorderly conduct and refusal to relinquish a telephone. He was held at the station before being taken to Kent County Superior Court for arraignment.
